Spell Spell
* The Spell Spell is used for importing other spells from Dungeons & Dragons 3.5. For more details about the effects of these spells, consult your Player’s Handbook. Minstrels, Slayers, and Thieves may use all of the spells open to them; Sages and Heroes must pick four at a time to know. These may be swapped out when the character levels or at the SM’s discretion.
– Requisite Courage/Wisdom/Power score: Varied
– Magic Points used: 5

Songs

Some songs appear to have an unusually high DC. All songs have a usual playing time of one standard action, but a player may choose to announce that he is taking more than one round to play a song. If an attempt to play a song fails, the character loses half the Magic Points that would have been used to cast that spell (rounding down).

Advantages: This opens up songs that characters may usually take a long time to access.

Disadvantages: Always taking this option in order to play cautiously will greatly reduce the number of songs a character can use during a battle.

To take more than one round on a song, the player must announce his intent before his character begins playing the song. For the first round, he rolls his Perform: Music check normally. For following rounds, he rolls the same check and adds half the total points (rounding up) to his total Perform: Music check. If the character is struck in battle before he has finished playing, he must make a Concentration check. (DC is his roll on the first Perform: Music check)

Harmonizing

During battle, characters may combine the power of their songs to create new magic spells. More combinations are possible than what is listed here; potentially successful harmonies must be approved by the SM.

  • If the characters wishing to play in harmony do not roll the same Initiative, the quicker one must ready an action until the slower one’s turn comes up.
  • On their turn, characters play the two (or more) different songs. Both must succeed for the harmony to be successful. If one character fails, then only the successful song is played.
  • Number of enemies that the song may affect depends upon the higher-level character.

  1. i really like the idea of fusing songs in harmonies, perhaps improvisation could also be used somehow with embellishments. But i dont know how it would work Maybe suffer some battle penalties to try and super charge your song with some flourish. Perhaps there could be levels that responded to songs as well. Like a temple that moves based on the melodies played im just musing. Heres a silly idea as well.
    Catchy Tune: If your song is played for more than x rounds, target monster that can sing begins to sing your tune. (these monster melodies can aid in one man band harmonizing!)


  2. think about it, Bong of Inverted Double Time. Effect: Player moves at times 2 speed, enemies move at half speed.
