I"m currently working on a centaur skald for a game here soon, who is suppose to be something of a heavy metal rocker of some kind. Kinda like Dimu Borgi or Kiss or some such.
His current primary state would be to use Summon Instrument to summon forth a left handed bass guitar, he'd then use as an improvised weapon while rage songing.
Problem I'm having is a few things, Mostly number one, What rage powers should I go with?
I'm wanting to use the Demon Dancer and fated champion archetypes for the character.Though could even jump back and just play bard, just keep the theme still.
Any suggestions?
Who are your party members? The Skald is heavily dependent on group makeup to be successful.
A few good options off the cuff:
Lesser celestial totem makes Path of Glory heal your whole party for tremendous amounts.
Lesser spirit totem + high charisma gives you an additional attack for every party member, summon, familiar, eidolon, aminal companion, etc on your team.
The Linnorm Death Curse rage powers are super good combined with summons or other expendible allies. They add damage to attacks, and apply a permanent curse to foes who kill the ally.
We've got a a Witch and a Fighter. We might have a war priest joining us when I come in with this character.
Sounds like a good party, though the Warpriest may not want rage until fully buffed. Could work with their faster Fervor buffing though.
I like Celestial Totem, Reckless Abandon, and Superstition for Rage Powers.
I think I'll be going possibly with the Spirit Totem.
The question I have with that, is if the spirit totem could activate recovered rage?
Elemental rage, for when you're REALLY pushing amps to the party. I have a Brütal Skäld in a one-off game and he rocks literally and figuratively. I'm planning on going down the whole elemental chain for lightning, discordant voice for the thunder, and maybe a little fire for the Pyro effects.
Kreiger Hendrix will rock the world! I just need some groupies.
Here is the link to the build. I decided to go with spirits and use everything I could to increase the amount of rage songs I get. Next feat is going to be spellsong so I can increase the duration by just using up spells to do things in the middle of combat. Things like.. Making people's heads explode with my ear piercing scream Or perhaps using some sort of other crazy combat bard spells. And then if all else fails, smash guitar in their face.
Oh wait, my mistake. Harmonic Spell was the one I wast hinking of
So here is a question.
IF i use RAGE SPELL with Recovered Rage, this should allow me to recover rounds of Raging Song right?
