Unofficial rules compendium

Musicians of the spheres are bards with an affinity for the planes and the creatures that live among the planes. The ability to summon creatures and inspiring them with bardic performance makes them very powerful, but they lack the healing and trickery powers of ordinary bards.

Class Information

This is an archetype for the bard and skald classes that casts summoner spells.

Alignment: Any. Unlike bards, musicians of the spheres can be of a lawful alignment.

Hit Die: d8.

Class Features

The musician of the spheres has all the standard bard class features, except as noted below.

Spellcasting

A musician of the spheres casts spells from the unchained summoner spell list rather than the bard spell list. All other rules on learning and casting bard spells apply to the musician of the spheres applies, including mandatory verbal components.

This modifies spells and replaces the inspire competence bardic performance for the bard and spell kenning from level 5 for the skald.

Resonance of the Spheres (Su)

At 9th level the muscian of the spheres can create a planar resonance in a 30 ft. radius around herself as a bardic performance. This imbues an area with planar vibrations, strengthening summoned and extra-planar creatures. Every summoned or extra-planar creature in the area gains a +2 bonus on all attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. A creature summoned into such an area gains +2 hit points per HD, and this bonus persists even when it is no longer in the area or effect. These bonuses increase to +3 at level 11 and +4 at level 17. This replaces the inspire greatness performance for the bard and spell kenning from level 11 for the skald.

Banishing Performance (Sp)

At level 15 the musician of the spheres can use bardic performance to cast banishment as a standard action. Each round when using this performance, the bard can make a Knowledge check as if trying to identify a creature to be banished; on a success the save for that type of creature DC increases by 1 as the performance incorporates knowledge of the creature's weaknesses. This replaces the inspire heroics performance for the bard and spell kenning from level 17 for the skald.
