The Maestro

|
The Maestro is a bard who specializes in his song. He is perhaps the most party friendly of all bard builds, since he makes everyone rogue and cleric a fighter, and every fighter, barbarian and ranger into a deadly combatants. His song's provide very large bonuses to combat ability, plus large bonuses to saving throws against fear. The Maestro has enough songs to keep a party constantly buffed, plus provide specific songs (inspire competance, etc) and mesmerize opponents as often as he or she needs.
In addition to combat bonuses. the Maestro is outstanding at mezmerization. While getting the timing of fascinating opponents (when running up to them) can be difficult, a player using the maestro build will find that they can mezmerize almost anyone who is at all vulnerable to this ability when they attempt it. With the ability to mezmerize constructs and the undead, along with thinking, living fores, this is a useful ability indeed.
The Maestro is not a master of melee combat, but doesn't have to be. An excellent spell caster with his or her spells, with bonuses to penetrate the spell resistance of resistant foes, picking up a friend or two to fight for the maestro is not a difficulty.
