These small golden harps are favored by elven, fey and lillend bards. A bow harp functions as a masterwork stringed instrument and can also be used as a +2 shortbow. If the wielder has a bardic performance or raging song ongoing, they can expend one additional round of the ability to shoot arrows made of sheer sound from the bow harp in a round. These deal the same damage of regular arrows, but all the damage dealt is sonic damage.

Construction Requirements Cost 9,000 gp

New Wizard Elemental Arcane School: Light

Soon on The Bardess’ Library #6!

This post already appeared for patrons only on my Patreon page. If you wish to see stuff in advance and have access to other rewards, please consider donating!

New Wizard Elemental Arcane School: Light

Light represents good, charm, knowledge, purity, and clarity of mind. Wizards who specialize in this school are often confused with clerics of good, but are not necessarily of a good alignment.

A wizard who specializes in the light element gains a number of school powers and one bonus spell slot of each level that the wizard can cast, from 1st on up. This bonus spell slot must be used to prepare a spell from the light elemental school’s spell list. Unlike a normal arcane school, the light elemental school requires the wizard to select the void elemental school as his opposition school. A wizard must expend two spell slots to prepare a spell from the void elemental school as normal. He does not need to select a second opposition school.

Light Magic: At 1st level, add the following spells to your wizard spell list at the listed spell level: 2nd- blinding ray, light lance, moonbeam, 3rd- searing light, 4th- blade of light, burst with light, 6th- blazing rainbow, 7th- morning sun, sunbeam

Light Supremacy (Su): You gain a +2 enhancement bonus on Perception checks. This bonus increases by 1 for every 5 wizard levels you have. In addition, you can cast light at will as a spell-like ability that uses your caster level. At 5th level, you gain darkvision in a 60 ft. radius. At 10th level, you gain a +4 bonus on saving throws against dazzling and blinding effects. At 20th level, you become immune to the dazzled condition, blindness, and illusion spells and effects that rely on sight.

Rainbow Halo (Su): You can surround yourself with a multicolored aura that shifts continuously in hue, granting you concealment (20% miss chance) for 1 minute. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

Power of the Sun (Su): At 8th level, all spells you cast with the light descriptor are automatically affected as if by the Solar Spell metamagic feat, but with no increase in spell level.

Thank you to my patrons

March is here. The beast and his monster laugh while dark clouds loom at the horizon. Some cheer them. Some stay silent, waiting to see who is the winner and then say that they always were on that side. Some try to resist. A few heroes openly challenge. Many years from now, who will be remembered as a hero? Who will be remembered as a coward? I don’t think I am a hero, but I don’t want to have been a coward.

Thanks to my Supporter patrons, as always:
