Bardic Music and Outsiders


3.5/d20/OGL


Does Bardic Music affect outsiders as it would a creature from the material plane?

and if it doesn't, is there a feat that allows you to do it?

or perhaps I should create one.

I'm trying to make the ultimate bardic music bard. I plan on affecting everything our DM can through at us... I'm working on getting Green Ear, and I already have Requiem.

Bardic Music affects anyone with 2 ears and a heart.

Actually, anyone who can hear it and is affected by mind-affecting morale effects, which does include most outsiders.

Might I recommend Dragonsong from Draconomicon?

+2 on Perform (song or poetics) checks and +2 to bardic music DC (song or poetics). These are untypes, so they should stack with Ability Focus.

Haunting Melody (Heroes of Horror) is good, let's you make creatures shaken.

Music of the Outer Spheres (Lords of Madness) let's you do special bardic music effects to aberrations.

I know about {Music of the Outer Spheres} and while it's a great feat, I won't be getting it any time soon. One of the prerequisites is Brd Lvl 9, and with my DirgeSinger and Seeker PrC levels I won't be seeing any more Brd Lvls until after lvl 21.

thanks for the Dragon Song feat.. I'll try to but that in my progression.

and while Hauting Melody is another great feat.. some of the abilities I get out of DirgeSinger (from the Libris Mortis) are a little better.

Thanks for these suggestions!

Your welcome, and thanks for the thanks!

I've got a few more for you:

Chord of Distraction (Complete Scoundrel) - make one opponent flat-footed against one ally.

Inspire Spellpower (Races of Stone) - allows you to boost an allies spellcaster level by 1.
