Razor Wires
Devised by less scrupulous bards, razor wires are a deadly modification to any stringed instrument. Imbued with subtle evocation magic they shape and propel blades of air towards intended targets. By replacing a choice string with a razor wire a skilled performer can let rip a truly killer solo.
With a DC 20 Perform (stringed instrument) check and expenditure of a use of bardic music the wielder casts Shrieking Blade. Can be used twice before requiring a 1 minute period to tune.
Moderate evocation; CL 6th; Craft Wondrous Item, sound burst; Price 8,000 gp

Shrieking Blade
Evocation [Sonic]
Level: Brd 3
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: Ray
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
This spell focuses a wave of sound into a scything blade, directed at a single enemy. If it strikes successfully it inflicts 2d6 damage +1 per level of the caster. This attack has a threat range of 19-20 and inflicts x2 damage on a critical hit.
This spell cannot penetrate a silence spell.
Any adjustments? I don't usually homebrew so feel free to rip in hard.Last edited by GrassyGnoll; 2008-10-22 at 06:20 PM.

Re: Razor Wires
I love it. Although you might want to reduce it to one bardic music use. But then again, what do I know? I'm a homebrew noob too.

Re: Razor Wires
I'd say reduce it to one bardic use. It's not particularly powerful for a spell; and it doesn't specify if the strike is just instantaneous, ranged touch, or range attack. I'd probably make it a ranged touch.

Re: Razor Wires
Thanks for the feedback. A ranged touch attack and one use of bardic music it is then. And yeah, Kung Fu Hustle and Midvalley the Hornfreak were cornerstones to the idea.

Re: Razor Wires
I love it. I offered it to my D as a one use cost and ranged touch, and he allowed it. Thanks :)
