🍋🌿🥃вєяgαмσт, яσѕємαяу & вяαη∂у🥃🌿

White locks, drunken of 🌹🥀🌹 Bergamot, rosemary and brandy Entwined fates only by chance I search in your ruby red eyes Never let go

Ruby eyes, full of lies? Or are you a true love’s soul? My hands on your scars Just want trust to earn Is our love story written in the stars? Or damned to fall, crash and burn?

White locks, drunken of Bergamot, rosemary and brandy Entwined fates only by chance I search in your ruby red eyes For truth or lies Just one call for a reason to never let go

In my dreams forever combined A lover's fate entwined? Or companions only the road to share And after all, nothing to care Will we endure the night? And battle shoulder to shoulder in another fight? Or will we vanish like my dreams with the morning light?

White locks, drunken from the scent of Bergamot, rosemary and brandy Entwined fates only by blind chance I search in your ruby red eyes For truh or lies Just one call, a reason to never let go

Your soul lost in anger and grief My words meaningsless like written on a leaf Gone with the wind or the weave Will you stay or will you leave?

White locks, drunken from the scent of Bergamot, rosemary and brandy Entwined fates only by blind chance I search in your ruby red eyes For truth or only lies Just one call, a reason to never let go 🌹🥀🌹

Nothing radicalizes somebody so viciously then the bardcore version of Pink Pony Club

I also discovered that after a full hefty cup of red wine and diet coke, I am somehow capable of writing in medieval font relatively well regardless of my inebriation. Dionysus is gifted me the ability of semi lucidity.

I think The Orville is great because it’s a sci-fi series that 100% unironically has a bard core cover of Jolene.

If you're born with a monochromatic color scheme, then store-bought neon is fine 💁‍♀️

Ülo is a drow, a bard, and something of a mad genius. They are also besties with Aino 🤗

(and, to answer Astarion's question. its magic)

was thinking about leverage dnd classes and i think the obvious choice for sophie is bard, but i don't think that's quite right, because her whole thing is that she's NOT a very good actor. she's not an Artist, she's a grifter. i think one of the reasons why sophie struggles with acting is because then the goal is art/self-expression/a desire to communicate with and be seen by the world (something she has a whole crisis about) while the goal of grifting more readily aligns with her own (facilitating a con). like bards are ultimately a class that's about supporting/"inspiring" others through creative endeavors (getting stronger by improving your craft), while other charisma casters like warlocks are about power and ambition (getting stronger by selling your soul); but i think sophie's talents are closest to those of sorcerers, whose powers are more innate and something to be learned to be controlled. sophie's struggle isn't that she's not good enough at her job, but that maybe she's TOO good at it to the point she doesn't know who she is, and that her powers may in fact hurt others. if anything, she's a sorcerer carrying around a lute and charming her audience into clapping for her when her performance flops

Class Feature Friday: Warrior Muse (Pathfinder Second Edition Bard Muse)

(art by Nawol on DeviantArt)

And we’re back with another bardic muse, this time in the form of the warrior!

While violence is often considered an ugly affair, there can be no denying that a trained warrior can move with remarkable precision and grace, making them akin to dancers in how they move. In fact, in many cultures, the perfection of these graceful forms is considered an art form in and of itself, regardless of whether they are truly used for combat.

Regardless of their intent, the bards we’ll be covering today seek to master their body and mind in the deadly dance of steel and blood.

As far as actual inspiration goes, these bards typically treat a skilled and disciplined warrior as their muse. Some might be mortal warriors or generals, living or dead. Others, however, might be divine in nature, such as the disciplined archons of the armies of Heaven, or even a war deity such as Gorum (before his death, anyway. Other war gods are available).

No matter their exact inspiration, these warrior bards promise to become skilled combatants in their own right.

The flow of combat defines these warrior-poets, and their primary ability allows them to prolong the effects of various combat-enhancing performances as long as they continue striking foes. Meanwhile, they learn basic magic to instill foes with fear, disrupting their ability to fight back.

There are of course also feats associated with this muse, including the Song of Strength to bolster the physical ability of allies, Courageous Advance to inspire movement alongside combat zeal, Defensive Coordination to direct allies to raise their shields as you inspire their defense, Reflexive Courage to strike foes that present an opportunity, Courageous Assault to inspire allies to immediately strike, Shared Assault to inspire even more allies to attack, Courageous Onslaught to grant movement as well as attacking, and Triumphant Shout to begin an inspiring performance after attacking.

Beyond these, the following feats are also good choices, such as Hymn of Healing, Lingering Composition, Emotional Push, Combat Reading, Inspiring Resilience, Rallying Anthem, Triple Time, Dirge of Doom, Steady Spellcasting, Call and Response, Ode to Ouroboros, Victorious Anthem, All in My Head, Discordant Voice, Fatal Aria, as well as any others that suit your build.

Being able to sustain the basic buffing performance cantrips of the class is pretty good if you plan to be up front and center in the fight, always striking. As such, I’d recommend you take buffing spells that so that you don’t have to do anything but attack once you’re buffed up before the fight starts, with a handful of attacking spells for when a spell would be better.

Like all bard muses, it’s left up to interpretation what sort of performance you use as a bard. While dancing makes most sense for the whole “battledancer” thing, a singing performance also works since such performances require no hands.

The College of the Wind’s Voice is one of the greatest bardic colleges in the world, and it’s halls are populated by people of all ancestries, though those of sylph blood are quite common due to it’s location and open-door policy for new students. While plenty are devoted to the spoken or sung word, or any number of instruments, their winddancers are particularly famous for their deft moves and deadly skill in combat.

The Mighty Queen is a multifarious goddess, one whose worship is often split up among different epithets to the point where one can wonder if there are more than one deity sharing the same name. Whatever the case, the party follows a lead to a lost temple of her in her aspect as a goddess of both dance and warfare. Within, they will find divine guardian statues built in the shape of the dancing warrior maidens who once were among the most devout followers of her faith.

There are many ways to combine magic and the martial arts, and with those differences come rivalries as different schools of thought try to outdo the other. Such is the case in the feud between the Crescent Moon Bladedancer Academy and the Arcanothanc Collegium’s Magus division. The great irony being that the founders of both schools were once closer than friends.
