In my campaign I have an NPC bard that I call Pink Floyd (we call him Pinky)
The bard is CN. He mainly acts good but he hangs around the reacurring villin (who pays him for songs) The players see him alot (and they broke him out of jail) and I am trying to him slowly go insane (the same way "pink" goes crazy in "The Wall") any tips

Heh, I've done this. In one of my current campaigns, I'm playing a cleric of rock and roll whose patron deity is Gene Simmons.

Obviously, the best thing to start with is to fluff the bardic music abilities as various Pink Floyd songs.

The actions of those around him should slowly make him feel isolated from the rest of the world.
Hmm...I'm not a huge fan of Pink Floyd but he should have the ability to summon monsters.

"Fluff" is description. "Crunch" is numbers and stats. When he says "Fluff" them, he means change the description. Example: change a Bardic Music effect to a Pink Floyd song name, and have him sing it for the effect.

Just pick songs that you think are appropriate for the various abilities, and then play them whenever the bard uses one. Or for super-roleplaying, sing them yourself.

Pink Floyd happens to be one of my favorite ever bands. :smallsmile:

...you could re-fluff his spells to be named after Floyd tracks:

Message = Hey You
Expeditious Retreat = On The Run
Darkness = Goodbye Blue Sky
Disguise Self = Any Colour You Like
Hold Person = Stop

etc...

Comfortably Numb (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkJNyQfAprY): an illusion of a dove polymorphing in a fiendish dire hawk, polymorphing in a Shator Demodand.

The dove morphing is more strongly associated with an earlier scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzn5L_vkfew), and only shows up in Comfortably Numb as an allusion to that scene.

Hehe my mistake, I actually knew the video of Cn, but not the other scene. Thank you (and apologies :smallredface:).
