Hi,
I always liked the curse song you could take as a feat in Neverwinter Night 2 (yes, the computer game) :
Curse SongType of Feat: General
Prerequisite: Bard 1, Perform 3
Specifics: Bards are able to sing a song that can curse their enemies. Deafened creatures are not affected by the bard's singing. The song affects all enemies within 30 feet and lasts for 10 rounds. The higher the bard's final Perform skill and class level, the more powerful the Curse song. All of the penalties listed are additive.
* 3 Perform and Bard Level 1: -1 to Attack and Damage rolls.
* 6 Perform and Bard Level 2: -1 to Will Saves.
* 9 Perform and Bard Level 3: -1 to Damage rolls and -1 to Fortitude Saves.
* 12 Perform and Bard Level 6: -1 to Reflex saves, -1 to Skill rolls.
* 15 Perform and Bard Level 8: -1 to Attack rolls, 8 damage.
* 18 Perform and Bard Level 12: -2 to Dodge Armor Class, -1 to Skill rolls.
* 21 Perform and Bard Level 14: -1 to Damage rolls, 8 damage and -1 Dodge Armor Class.
* 24 Perform and Bard Level 15: -1 Will Saves, -1 Reflex Saves, -1 Fortitude Saves, -1 Dodge Armor Class and -1 to Skill rolls.
* 30 Perform and Bard Level 16: -1 Will Saves, 4 damage. -1 Dodge Armor Class and -1 to Skill rolls.For each additional 5 Perform and 1 Class level in Bard an additional 2 damage and -1 to skill rolls is granted.
Nasty
I like the idea a bard can use his music not only to buff his party, but to sap the moral of the ennemy, but I fear this one is too powerfull as it is. I also like the scaling.
Any help/idea on how to adapt this to PFRPG would be welcome.
Well the dirge of doom already exists, so I would suggest a feat called "Improved Dirge of Doom" that can't be taken until x ranks are in a perform skill that simply raises the penalties from Dirge of Doom. A Greater Dirge of Doom could also be done for later levels.

Good Idea - I'll probably go that way.
