Faun
I wanted to play a fey like creature for my next bard character (My previous character in this specific campaign met a sticky end)
So I was browsing through the unofficial SRD looking at low CR creatures and found the faun, which I mistook for a Satyr till I read the fluff of it. Well it seems this faun race is PERFECT for a bard, perhaps a Voice of the Wild bard? Never played one or heard of one being played but it seems like it would be a good fit for the nature theme of the character.
I was thinking of making him somewhat akin to Grover from Percy Jackson (The books not the movie, even if he was one of the few good things from the movies)
I am using a 20 point buy, where my partners will have used a 25 point buy, to help balance out.
Now I did some looking around and I do not feel the +4 Str, +6 Dex, +2 Con, +4 Wis, and +6 Cha is fair, though the numbers seem to ferret out that way.
I know most monster stat blocks are rolled up with a 15 point buy in mind.
So I was thinking a +4 Dex, +2 Wis, +4 Cha matches up if you use a 15 point buy to fill out the monsters other stats.
But anyway the stats are my least favorite thing. Heck my DM says I can roll my stats if I like since there is a chance I could really make a weak guy.
Anyway, we can use Flaws from 3.5 Unearthed Arcana to balance out the character with drawbacks and things that they simply cannot do. So I have 2 extra feats but they will come at a cost.
Now this begins at level 5, my former character died in the battle that all the other characters leveled up in, so I have 3 normal feats, and 5 class levels to take part in.
If I did go Voice of the Wild, which druid or ranger spells would be the best to take a serious look at for a bard?
He is gonna use his Panflute and his name is gonna be Pan as a bit of a joke since that god and his pantheon do not exist in our game world.
Any ideas on where to start?
