Hello All, I was looking around for character options a while back and I stumbled across the War Chanter PrC and the thought hit me... how would I go about making a Savage version of the Bard? I have the ACF from Unearthed Arcana and that is a nice start at least, but my first thoughts involved using some combination of Barbarian + Bard along with Arcane Strike/Snowflake Wardance. Currently I'm in a Gestalt(Starting at level 8) campaign where so far anything has been allowed.
However I'm hitting a couple of problems with this, the first being that Preform checks cannot happen during a Barbarian Rage, (Is there a feat already out there so that I can manage this?) and would there be a good way to Persist the effects of my songs even after I start singing so that I might be able to contribute to the battle in other ways(IE Arcane Strike and such).
Also, looking around I had a hard time finding non LA adjustment Races that grant Cha, the best being Spellscale currently, if anyone knows of a race that would fit the idea of a Savage Bard better that doesn't take a hit to Cha or Str that would be awesome.
I've seen 2 other classes that jump out at me, those being Warrior Skald/Virtuoso, but again I'm having difficulty figuring out how to build this.
Also question in regards to the Warrior Skald abilities, are each of those separate songs or are they effects applied during my performances? The bard mechanics are newish to me so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
