So I'm in a playful mood and was listening to music yesterday and thought "This would make the perfect theme for Intoxicanter" which got me thinking about what songs I'd list as the sort of theme song of my homebrew classes, and decided hey you know what I'll figure it out. So I've decided to post a list of classes with a youtube link to the song I'd think of as its theme.

So I guess that's hey tell me your thoughts, and if you've made something of your own I'd love to see what you'd choose as its theme. And no it doesn't have to be classes.

Awakened Champion (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?226662-Born-a-Thousand-Times-%283-5-base-class-PEACH%29) (this class needs a rewrite :smallsigh:) - Black Blade by The Blue Oyster Cult (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7krC6SY5b1A) I mean it was inspired by a book of the same name about a different incarnation of the Eternal Champion and the Black Blade.

Doomsayer (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?368342-Doomsayer-%283-5-Base-Class%29) - In the End by Linkin Park (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVTXPUF4Oz4). Not a perfect fit, but just always put me in mind of an apocalyptic scenario.

Dragon Chorister (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?312878-Dragon-Chorister-%283-5-base-class-PEACH%29) - To Sing a Metal Song by Van Canto (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lanj_R4ZqUE). It's sort of the point of the class, to sing heavy metal.

Dragonsoul Acolyte (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?394552-Dragonsoul-Acolytye-%28Base-Class-Base-Class-Contest-XXIV-winner%29) - Land Where Dragons Rule by Dragonforce (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02q8kPJn_e4). Dragons = Metal.

Fiendpact Medium (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?399050-Fiendpact-Medium-%283-5-class-sell-your-soul-now!%29) - When You're EVIL by Voltaire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWYCS6k1IOA). The class involves selling your soul and actively embracing being evil.

Incarnation (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?306621-So-you-want-to-play-a-god-%283-5-Base-Class-PEACH%29) - Princes of the Universe by Queen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEJ8lpCQbyw). Here you are, born to be king.

Intoxicanter (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?350465-Intoxicanter-%28Base-Class-Contest-XXI-winner%29) - Name Your Poison as sung by Christopher Lee (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ9se8i4ujs). Does this need explanation?

Jedi (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?329227-Jedi-%283-5-Base-Class-Star-Wars%29) - The Star Wars Theme by John Williams (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D0ZQPqeJkk). No explanation should be needed.

Jinnblood (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?312765-Jinnblood-%28Base-Class-Contest-XIX-winner-PEACH%29) - Water Fire Heaven Earth by Van Canto (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTkPRF9Fy6Q). I like Van Canto, ok?

Kyodai (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?300555-Stand-tall-to-protect-the-world-from-space-monsters-%283-5-ultraman-based-class%29) - The Ultraman Theme Song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6NN91yno3g). Can it be more blatantly based off of Ultraman?

Princess (Warrior Variant) (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?414734-Princess-%28Base-Class-Challenge-Winner%29) - Ride of the Valkyries by Richard Wagner (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGU1P6lBW6Q). The Warrior Variant was inspired by the oldest Sleeping Beauty story I know of, the one where she's a valkyrie. Ok to be more honest... I'll Make a Man Out of You as performed by Jackie Chan in Chinee (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SLJJc8siyU) for Warrior Princess.

Tall Tale (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?326799-Tall-Tale-%283-5-Base-Class-Contest-Winner-PEACH%29) - Thomas the Rhymer as performed by Steel Eye Span (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo3VxbJ0RJ4). You can see this especially in Perform (Sing) which was directly inspired by the ballad.

Ruin Delver (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?394548-Ruin-Delver-%28Base-Class%29&p=18703172#post18703172) - The Indiana Jones Theme Song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzLZJaAm2hw). I made no attempt to hide that the class is blatantly based on Indiana Jones.

Runebound Knight (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?340303-Runebound-Knight-%28Selling-souls-to-justice-PEACH%29&p=17277471#post17277471) - The Touch by Stan Bush (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZKpByV5764). You arrive to turn the tide of the battle at the darkest hour, and to die trying if need be.

Werewolf (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?309502-Listen-to-their-music-the-children-of-the-night-%28Werewolf-as-a-base-class%29) - Wolfen (Das Tier in Mir) by E Nomine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTokX6YDBo0). I don't know what they're saying but the name and music put me in mind of a werewolf at least.

Wildwood Knight (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?401772-Wildwood-Knight-%28Fey-themed-martial-initiator-Base-Class-PEACH%29) - Fairies from the Legend OST (US) by Tangerine Dream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvbrQbEOEZw). One of the best movie soundtracks out there and with a villain who shaped my Unseelie Lords, and fairies in general to a lesser extent.

These were the easy ones for me. Hope this entertains someone.
