That guy is thinking about an Intoner, the bardic equivalent of a lich.
Anyone wanting a ton of fun ideas for variant liches should check out Pointy Hat’s channel, he’s doing a whole series on custom lich types for different kinds of spellcaster (and he also just did a Barbarian Lich type, the Scourge, so he’s branching out to non-spellcasters too).
Great call. I very heavily based him on the Intoner, with some adjustments for him being an orator/teller of tall tales instead of a musician. And yes, if you’re not watching Pointy Hat get on that ASAP!
I also endorse Pointy Hat and his content. It’s on YouTube, and he’s also recently been streaming multihour world building sessions on Twitch (I think on Saturdays). Lots of good stuff, presented in an entertaining way.
So like, the spooky version of clapping Tinkerbell back to life?
clapping Tinkerbell
goddammit.
As someone interested in tabletops but no actual experience in them… What?
Sometimes DMs put a lot of thought into their homebrew setting and like anything else it can be more interesting than what ever is going on, like trying to remember Jacob’s name.
