I have a Tiefling bard in a campaign I'm DM'ing. He has points in Perform (Percussion), and he delightedly role-plays how he stomps with his hooves, and "clangs" his light mace over his shield.
I would like to give him a magical shield that would have bard-only bonuses. Any thoughts? Most bard stuff out there is slashing-sword-style-themed. Any bardic thing that you can think of that can be adjusted to a shield?
Not quite what you asked for:

3.5 spell Deafening Clang:
Transmutation [Sonic]
Level: Paladin 1
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Touch
Target: Your weapon
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial; see text
Spell Resistance: No
At your touch, the weapon rings like a struck tuning fork. The sound diminishes until it’s imperceptible, but when you touch the weapon you can feel the vibration.
You empower the touched weapon with magic that causes it to emit a loud clang when it is struck against a hard surface, such as a floor, wall, or creature. The weapon deals 1d6 points of sonic damage with each successful hit, and any creature struck by the weapon must succeed on a Fortitude saving throw or be deafened for 1 minute.
