DND, Bardic Magic, and the Rainbooms · 1:27am Jan 14th, 2019
Because I have things I should be doing and don't want to, I'm instead going to scribble some notes on stating out the Rainbooms and Sirens as Pathfinder Bards.
So the thing I love about Pathfinder, everyone on both sides can be Bards but we'll still allow specialization with archetypes and Masterpiece feats.
For the Sirens:
Adagio, Negotiator - for getting other sirens to work together. And controlling their subjects, but mostly the first.
Aria, Demagogue - for inciting riots
Sonata, Court Bard - for malicious slander
For the Rainbooms:
Fluttershy, Animal Speaker - Well I mean...does this need explaining? Her first animal friend type is birds, and expands from there
Rarity, Diva - Some social, some fame, some focus on costumes...seems perfect!
Sunset Shimmer, Arbiter - Defuses hostility, lots of teamwork feats
Pinkie Pie, Fey Prankster - Pinkie Pie. Need I say more?
Rainbow Dash, Celebrity - For rallying people to a cause, which is kind of her thing.
Princess Twilight, Studious Librarian - For arcane research and knowledge of Equestrian magic
Applejack, Plant Speaker - Not really on screen, but it's very fitting for her. Ironically, this will make HER the oracle of the grove.
Bonus:
Trixie, Street Performer - Vanishing and appearing magic tricks
Sci-Twi, Magician - Counterspells everywhere and can create enchanted amulets (like her Magic Trap)
Relevant Masterpieces
At The Heart Of It All - Sunset understands who they are dealing with
Clamor of the Heavens - Reasons Pinkie's enemies should flee from her drum set, part the first
Dance of Kindled Desires - Siren
Depths of the Mountain - Reason Pinkie's enemies should flee from her drum set, part the second
House of the Imaginary Walls - Either Rarity, for the force fields she'll get later, or Pinkie Pie because comedy
Illusion's Decree- For Sunset, Princess Twilight, or Sci-Twi
Legato Piece on the Infernal Bargain - For Sunset, this will be useful to call a Celestial Alicorn...
Life Budding In Salted Earth - For Fluttershy, party healing
Lullaby of Ember the Ancient - Hush now, quiet now...
Pageant of the Peacock - For Rarity of course
Pallavi of Nirvana's Blossoming - Sunset summons the sunlight.
Stone Face - Un-stone someone by making jokes. Pinkie, you know what to do
Anthem of Pageantry - Rarity glamming it up
Ballad of the Homesick Wanderer - Unsummon outsiders by making them homesick, very harmonic
Battle Song of the People's Revolt - Shares a teamwork feat with everyone, very on theme and good for Sunset in this build
Dance of Captivating Desire - More Siren powers
Hymn of Restorative Harmonics - Fluttershy healing
Kaminari Drums - Reason Pinkie's enemies should flee from her drum set, part the third
Melody of Surrender - Siren magic
Stirring Discourse of the Mind - Twilight
Symphony of the Elysian Heart - Freedom of Movement
The Bear's Jig - Fluttershy awakens an animal
The Sea Is Now My Sky - Sirens reclaiming the sea
Bonus
Death of Heroes - Great villain power, makes the target think they're alone and unable to interact with allies
Quickening Pulse - For grim bad guys who make you sweat blood from your heartbeat
Banshee's Requiem - Spammed AOE negative levels, if we want Sombra or something
Vindictive Soliloque - Let the villain give a good impassioned monolog and fall over clonk when struck, cursing their enemies
What Would Be Nice
A Masterpiece that lets the Sirens cast Overwhelming Presence and make everyone worship them
A Masterpiece that lets the Rainbooms cast Magic Circle Against Evil to keep away the Siren spirit avatars
A Masterpiece that lets the Rainbooms cast Dispel Evil, though that could be the Alicorn they get with the Planar Ally effect
Ooo, I'm a fan of this Fits surprisingly well, given they all burst into song now and then.
