Hello everyone! I want to apologize for not using this site as often as I would like. I didn’t get the inspiration to write or express ideas, to that matter. And then with the coupled weight of social media taking priority over most life aspects.
Earlier today, I discovered a skeet from mutual:
i just know a siren and a bard would go well together.

To which I replied that I would create a D&D Bard class based on Sirens. And so here we go:
Class Identity: Bardic College based on Sirens. College of the Choir.
Bardic Inspiration is now called Siren Song: All Spells in table are centered upon singers. All ranges start at 60ft from center of singers. ALL spells are cast by singing, Verbal component. All effects start at beginning of round. Any interruption, rejoining singer starts over. Changing from De/Buff and back warrants a start over, use a BI die. Singer is unaware of what effects they’re casting. Lasts 3 rounds after song ends. 5th, 10th, and 15th levels: d4-> d6 -> d8 -> d10 -> d12

Bard College:
At level 3 choose choir placement and learn 2 cantrips and a 1st level spell from corresponding spell list: Soprano: Cleric; Alto: Druid; Tenor: Sorcerer; Bass: Warlock; Percussion: Paladin or Ranger
Bonus Profs: All Cha based skills; choose another skill if Cha skill is chosen.
Pitch Perfect: At 3rd level, Concentration checks for Siren Song cannot be dis/advantaged; Prof Bonus halved, rounded down, is added. Immune to silence effects.
Circular Breathing: At 6th level, choose a second choir placement. Character can sing both placements at once and gain the effects as if multiple singers are present.
Call of the Abyss: At 14th level, affected creatures designated as enemies gain 1 level of exhaustion after a DC 15 Con check, each round of hearing singing.
