Does anyone know where I can find a (hopefully free) Bard variant without spells?

I have been working on one.

The original version was considered underpowerd overall. The version now posted is still being revised and I will post version 2 this week.

The gleeman is non-magic bard variant from WoT d20. Grants the distract, gleeman's music, gleeman's lore, and virtuoso performance class abilities. It also grants Mimic, Persuasive, and Trustworthy as bonus feats.

In other words it's just what you're looking for Draxen.

the Gleeman is great, except it's a 10 level prestige class, instead of a base class. I've really been leaning towards making the bard a PrC, and letting the player choose between the Unearthed Arcana(is that the right book? The sorcerer PrC?) PrC, or the Gleeman. Go for spells, or go for music.

Please let me know when it's finished! I'll see if there's anything I can add to it...

Well, I'm more looking for a base class, but thanks anyway! If I can find somewhere that sells it, I'll look into it.

Yes that. I should have been more clear.

It would be fairly simple to extend the gleeman into a base class. 20 minutes work tops.

I could work it out and PM it to you, if you'd like.

So long as it's legal, then sure. Why not post it here? I'll put a link to it in my sig, so people can see your work.

In the DMG2, there was a manipulator build that featured a rogue/bard. My brother wants to make a similar character out of ninja/bard, but spells do not quite fit the character concept.
