Ways to get Bardic Music?
Other than taking a level bard. If it takes up a class level make sure it is one that can advance sorcerer wizard or it will be useless to me, so close to finishing this character :) Thanks Gtip. Oh and if you want to know why I want Bardic Music, it's because I wanna use snowflake wardance with my yoda. Please mention where you found the source as well as any other nifty abilities it might give me.

Re: Ways to get Bardic Music?
Well, considering the List of Stuff has just about ALL of the options, including the easy ones, if its not there, it doesn't exist. I dunno how that indicates character railroading. Choose the one that best suits your desired path, or don't choose any and forgo the ability. Nobody is gonna railroad you to do anything, just laying out the options available.
Unless you homebrew something...

Re: Ways to get Bardic Music?
For reaching cheese, I just came across the spell Protege (CAdv p. 155). Permanency, Extend, Persist?

Re: Ways to get Bardic Music?
How about the Prestige Bard?
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/cl...m#prestigeBard
Full set of bardic abilities, and still does a decent job of increasing the casting abilities of your prior arcane spellcasting class.

Re: Ways to get Bardic Music?
Heartfire Fanner, Dragon 314. It's a 5 level class, with full spellcasting advancement, that requires Negotiator and Skill Focus (perform) along with 10 ranks in Perform and Diplomacy. If you had no previous Bard levels upon entering, you gain all Bardic Music as a 5th level Bard, including uses/day.

Re: Ways to get Bardic Music?
Except that wouldn't really make sense, since he said it was fine for a 1 level dip, but nothing further since it didn't progress casting. When the 9 other levels all do progress casting... and actually feature in a number of the higher-powered Bard+Sublime Chord builds for finishing up the build. So I was a bit consternated.
Aemoh87: That's a really weird use of the term railroading. Most builds do require a character path to be decided upon in advance in order to deliver what is wanted by the player anyway. So being shown your options isn't really railroading, especially since it's giving you options that you might not have already known about. As opposed to the usual meaning which is no options whatsoever because the DM wants one to progress in a certain limited way.

π = 4
Consider a 5' radius blast: this affects 4 squares which have a circumference of 40' — Actually it's worse than that.

Re: Ways to get Bardic Music?
Being a Firre Eladrin (BoED) might do the trick.
If you're an outsider, Polymorph + Assume Supernatural Ability (SS) or Metamorphic Transfer (XPH) gets you there, otherwise Shapechange.Halfling healer avatar by Akrim.elf.

Re: Ways to get Bardic Music?
Unless you get several levels in a class that grants bardic music and/or extra music you probably won't have enough uses to make it worth it.

Re: Ways to get Bardic Music?
Waste of a feat and class levels. There are many better things you can be doing with Charisma, like Gauntlets of Heartfelt Blows (CHA to damage) or one of the many ways to have CHA to AC. The list for that is not 100% accurate, but most of the stuff is correct.

Re: Ways to get Bardic Music?
I have a high AC and Cha to my AC as well. But I need more damage. Slippers of Battle Dancing are nice, but I may want to put my money elsewhere.
