Spontaneous Arcane Spellcasting, Bardic Music

Curse Singer

“	Sing a song of lamentation / Awake the chorus of desolation / Bathe their soul in desecration / Break their bones in isolation	”
—Guile Sorrowborne, hellbred curse singer, Songbook of the Curse Singer, Vol. 1

The innate grasp of arcane is rare and beautiful, but can come in terrifying forms. One such form is within the sound of music.

Becoming a Curse Singer

Entry Requirements  

Alignment:	Any non-lawful.
Skills:	Perform (sing) or perform (oratory) 7 ranks, Knowledge (arcana) 7 ranks.
Spellcasting:	Able to cast 1st level arcane spells.
Special:	Bardic music class ability, hexblade's curse class ability

A curse singer has learned how to take her arcane power and lace it into her song, twisting and manipulating how it effects those who hear it, for better or for worse. Charisma is important, since it affects how hard your music is to resist. Constitution is second. Then dexterity to avoid being hit. Then whatever else.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the curse singer.

Spellcasting: At each level after first, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one arcane spellcasting class before becoming a curse singer, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

A curse singer casts arcane spells which are drawn primarily from the bard and hexblade spell lists. A curse singer need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his spells per day for that spell level. He does not have to decide ahead of time which spells he’ll cast. Table: Curse Singer Spells Known, below, details how many spells you can learn at each level.
