02-19-06, 12:03 PM My group has often discussed cool equipment that our characters can use, that our artificer can create.

Our artificer is currently hatching plans for "Iron Man" style armour with a bound air elemental, and there has been talk of alchemists' fire launchers.

I'm a bard. I've heard stories from my DM that he used to have an instrument that was basically a magical "electric guitar" with a wand at the end, so when he played it would shoot lightning at whoever he aimed at if he wanted.

Although apart from this, and a "Gust of Wind" mandolin to make songs go further, I cannot think of any way to make a Bard cooler.

Ideas, anyone?

1. Drums that shake the earth
2. guitar that doubles as crossbow
3. A mobile organ to roll over your enemys
4. A instrument of silence

02-19-06, 01:58 PM I just thought of a mandolin with an adamantine layer, and another adamantine layer which could be rotated over to create a (perhaps masterwork) club or mace while protecting the strings.

However I was informed by one of my friends that this would mess up the sound of the mandolin. Would it? I'm not exactly a physics/music expert.

And if it DOES mess up the sound, is there any way to magically enchant it to still play ok?

that it is to double or tripple the range of bardic music.

I thought up Drums of Mighty Marching, that allow all allies to have +10 movement, Endurance and Run while the drums are played, and they are moving in the same direction.
