Poll #379: Nordic/Winter-Themed Bard Subclasses
🕑 Added 2023-08-27 00:37:42 +0000 UTCNext Saturday, I owe you all a new bard subclass for our Frostlands setting. I've used AI to generate some nifty names/themes for these subclasses. Pick the one you like best. The winner gets made. By the way, all of these are hella cool, so good luck picking just one.
- Skald of the Frozen North: A bard who draws on the ancient traditions of Norse skalds, blending storytelling and magic to inspire their comrades. Their tales can chill the blood of enemies or stir the hearts of friends.
- Snowflake Minstrel: A bard who can manipulate snow and ice through their performances, creating blizzards or intricate ice sculptures to distract and confuse enemies.
- Aurora Singer: This bard harnesses the ethereal beauty of the Northern Lights, mesmerizing foes and healing allies through songs that emulate the shifting lights in the sky.
- Jotun Lorekeeper: Specializing in the myths and history of the frost giants, this bard gains the ability to temporarily grow in size, gain frost resistance, or even summon minor frost-based creatures.
- Winterwolf Chanter: A bard who emulates the howls of winter wolves to coordinate allies and disorient enemies. They can even summon a wolf companion through their mystical chants.
- Frostfire Troubadour: Masters of contrasting elements, these bards can evoke both ice and fire in their performances. They can simultaneously heal allies and scorch enemies, or invigorate friends while slowing foes.
- Runecarver Lyricist: Combining the art of rune carving with musical talent, this bard subclass can engrave runes onto weapons or armor while performing, granting temporary bonuses or abilities.
- Drake Whisperer: This bard has formed a special bond with the wyrms and drakes of the icy north. They can summon or communicate with these creatures and even perform duets with them for powerful magical effects.
- Blizzard Dancer: A performer who specializes in dance, this bard can create ice on the ground to make enemies slip and fall, or dance up a snowstorm that hampers enemy vision and movement.
- Iceberg Maestro: A bard specializing in large, orchestral arrangements that can alter the battlefield itself, raising pillars of ice for defense or causing avalanches to disrupt enemy formations.
