Vaudevillian Muse Bard
Created by: Ian Speidel
Most people take life too seriously, and you want to change that. Your muse may be a great comedian, someone who can effortlessly lift the spirits of those around them, or even the concept of humor itself. Art inspired by a vaudevillian muse is often absurdist and irreverent, though it can also contain biting satire or scathing criticism of the powers that be.
As a bard with a vaudevillian muse, you support your allies by lifting their spirits and combat adversaries with lighthearted antics.
This new muse adds seven new feats allow you to make pratfalls, modify casting certain spells, and find hilarious new ways to mock your enemies while the three new focus spells will really leave your foes with pie on their faces!

World Renditions
Created By: Iris Gormless, Joshua T
Beneath all worldly processes is a steady, beating rhythm; all bards know this, but few truly feel the pull of inspiration to explore the fundamentals of their magical knowledge to greater breadths. Within are a duo of unconventional muses inspired by breadths of real-world cultures, that might push your Bard to take their art in strange new directions;
- The Mute Muse, a mourner that divests others of their sorrows whilst also plunging their opponents into eternal repose.
- The Phenomenon Muse, a naturalist that invokes the energies that move in the earth and on the wind.
