Pied Piper of Hamelin build?
As you could tell from the thread title, I'm looking to re-create the Pied Piper of Hamelin in DnD. Specifically, a 'Face' bard who can fascinate everything under the sun, and then Suggest them into following him around.
Possibly, using Perform (Dance), then Suggest them into joining him with a "Come! Dance with me!" since, surely if there's one guy capering around the battlefield, it must be 'reasonable' enough to qualify, right?
I can finally have my dream of winning DnD through musical numbers and the power of Riverdance.
Is this possible? He would need at least Requiem (undead: Thriller, anyone?), Green Ear (plants), Soothe the Beasts (animals/magical beasts), and Speak to the Masses (x2 as many Fascinated targets). He'd also need to pump up his perform check to keep people from resisting his siren song with a will save.
I've never actually played a bard before, so I could use all the help I could get on this one.
EDIT: Maybe get in some Undersong, Warblade (plus Chaos music) and Diamond Mind maneuvers to beat people to death with my dance, a la Nexus's Lord of the DanceLast edited by dyslexicfaser; 2008-02-17 at 04:26 PM.
People seemed to like this better, but only marginally so - the way one might prefer to be stabbed than shot. Optimally, one isn't stabbed or shot. Optimally, one eats some cake! But there are times when cake is not available, and instead we are destroyed. This is the deep poetry of the universe. -- Tycho Brahe

Re: Pied Piper of Hamelin build?
The versatile performer feat from complete adventurer makes it so that you can get (INT bonus) worth of extra perform(x) for free and a +2bonus if you use multiple performances simultaneously. Other than that, it's easy to optimize perform. Improvisation (Bard 1 spell) grants a luck bonus which stacks with nearly everything, masterwork instruments grant +2, and custom magic items grant +x.

Re: Pied Piper of Hamelin build?
Yes, I suppose he is. That wasn't really the point of my post, though. My point was: what build could I make that can make the most out of fascinate and suggestion?

It's a feat from Libris Mortis that allows Bard music to affect undead. Originally Posted by Collin152
