02-17-04, 01:12 AM Do any Bard players craft magical instruments to better enhance your Bardic Music abilities, or simply an instrument with some other beneficial effects? I was curious, both because I am considering a Bard as a character for a campaign I am in, and I'm certainly going to make one for a bardic villain I have in mind...

02-17-04, 02:32 PM As DM, I encourage "character related" item creation. Bards get a price break (very modest) for tying their items to an instrument. Clerics get a modest price break for tying things to their holy symbol.

I listen to the character concept (as described by the player) and let them come up with how their character would develop magic items to fit within the concept. I don't even have to come up with the link in most cases.
