Bardbarian (3.5e Prestige Class)

Bardbarian
"Raagh Raagh Ragh Ragh Raagh Raagh Raagh Ragh Ragh Raagh Ragh Ragh Ragh Ragh-Ragh."

Bardbarians are the ultimate pinnacle of Bardic Barbarianism. All other Bardic Barbarianists bow before their infinite glory.

Becoming a Bardbarian
Characters tend to decide to become Bardbarians because they like music and chopping limbs off.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Bardbarian.

You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one bardic spellcasting class before becoming a Bardbarian, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.



Also, you gain one additional use of Bardic Music for every level of Bardbarian you possess.

This ability is not counteracted by Rage's inability to cast spells. Every 3 levels after 2nd, the maximum level of spell the Bardbarian can cast as a swift action in this way increases by 1.

If his Perform ranks are gained from Perform (Percussion), he may take this free attack with any bludgeoning weapon. If his Perform ranks are gained from Perform (String}, he may take this free attack with any axe that has strings tied to it. If his Perform ranks are gained from Perform (Dance), he may take this free attack with a rapier, whip, nunchaku, or shuriken. Otherwise, he's out of luck.



 (Su): When a 3rd level or greater Bardbarian with 9 or more ranks in Perform rages, each ally within 30 feet of him may choose to gain the benefits and drawbacks of that rage. This effect continues even if the ally becomes more than 30 feet away, and uses the ally's constitution modifier to determine its duration.



 (Su): A Bardbarian of 6th level or higher with 12 or more ranks in Perform can expend a use of Bardic Music to grant all allies within 30 feet (including himself) Damage Reduction 3/- for 5 minutes. This Damage Reduction increases by 1 every two Bardbarian levels after 6th.





 (Su): A Bardbarian of 10th level or higher with 12 or more ranks in Perform can expend a use of Bardic Music to grant all allies within 30 feet (including himself) an enhancement bonus to all movement speeds equal to his Perform check (rounded down to an increment of 5') for 5 minutes.
