Cairnsinger
A necromantic bard that specializes in summoning undeads under her control. These miscreants use necromantic energy-charged music to control and bolster undead under their control. Fully compatible with both 3.5e and Pathfinder, recommended to be used alongside the Dirge bard for the latter.
Class: Bard
Level: 1st, 5th
Replaces: Spell List, Inspire Courage, Inspire Competence and Inspire Heroics
Benefit: A cairnsinger gain the following class features:
Bardic Music/Performance: A cairnsinger gain the following bardic music/performance:
Requiem of Servitude (Su): This performance behaves as the Necromantic Servant focus power of an occultist of your level, except that the servant remains as long as the cairnsinger continue the performance. At 5th level, whenever the necromantic servant would be destroyed, if you are within medium range (100 feet + 10 feet per level) of the servant, you can expend 1 round of bardic music as an immediate action to cause the servant to return to full hit points.
While using requiem of servitude, all undead under the cairnsinger’s control that can perceive her gain a +1 competence bonus to attack roll and damage roll. At 5th level, and every six bard levels thereafter, this bonus increases by +1, to a maximum of +4 at 17th level.
This ability replaces inspire courage.
Elegy of Warding (Su): As long as a 3rd level cairnsinger maintain this performance, her and all allies who can perceive her are under the effect of hide from undead and gain a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like and supernatural of undead.
This ability replaces inspire competence.
Dirge of Awakening (Su): A 15th level cairnsinger gains this powerful performance. Upon starting the performance, the cairnsinger chooses a creature within 60 feet of her who has died less than 1 hour ago. The chosen creature cannot have a number of hit dice greater than the cairnsinger’s character level. The chosen creature immediately rises as an undead, changing its type (but not subtype). The creature has all abilities that it had in life, including spells, feat, etc. Spells and other expandable resources that were expended prior to the target’s demise remain expended. The risen creature is utterly loyal to the cairnsinger and obeys her every order. The target remains for as long as the cairnsinger concentrates on the performance, or for 1 round per class level, after which it becomes a normal corpse and cannot be raised again with this ability.
This ability replaces inspire heroics.
Necromantic Magic: A cairnsinger adds the animate dead, corpse puppet, create undead and summon undead (I-V) to her spell list at the same level that they appear on the cleric spell list.
However they do not have the summon monster (I-VI) spells on her spell list.
This ability alters the bard's spell list.
