Hey, so I have seen all those "Vicious Mockery ieas" or "List of songs for a bard" and so on... And I thought to myself, what a wonderful world! But in all honesty, we sure need a list of those topics, or at least one comprehensive thread, that would be marked as Important/Sticky.
But on the topic of inspiration for future Bard players, I have a few limericks I wrote for my current campaign, some poems I twisted and tinkered with and a song or two, that I also adjusted to fit the situations.
Vicious Mockery/Cutting Words:
Of course, if you want me to fight I'll do it, but be warned, I bite. My words tend to sting And I hold back nothing So don't expect my humour to be light.
The weapon I choose is the word. It is mightier than the sword. When all has been said, You will lie dead And naught in your name be poured.
From this fight I shall not hide. Hey you, come along for the ride. It will be fun, Though you are done, I shall not even spare your pride.
Inspiration for Monks/Wizards/Quaterstaff swingers:
I never seen one as big as that before Its shaft is four feet long or even more It's such a lovely stiffness, And nice and full and strong, I never thought a quarterstaff, Could be as big and long.
Inspiration for our local Dexterity fighter, although I wrote them in a way, they can be used as Mockery as well:
Wyett can go into a stance Where he rapidly starts to advance "I'm not a bard!" he cries with tears in his eyes But what kind of fighter can dance?
There once was a fighter named Wyett Who just couldn't keep himself quiet. He boasted and screamed. Claiming he was supreme. Just no one who heard him would buy it.
Inspiration for our dear Warlock Marionna:
There once was a noble named Mari Who wasn't too willing to marry. She fought a dead angel. Who wasn't too gentle. And made her flee in a hurry.
I must admit, writing limericks is a lot of fun and not quite as difficult as I have feared. This site has helped me immensely. And if I can do it, anyone else can. And trust me, dropping a poem directly targeted at your party members is a priceless experience.

For barbarians (to the chorus of "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers):
Rage for days,
Leaping headlong to the fray.
Far too angry; cannot die,
Slaying all the other guys.
But it's all for fun, you see,
Swinging weapons recklessly.
Now it's time to kill again,
Because they're the barbarian!
For paladins (to the chorus of "Dragula" by Rob Zombie):
Sworn, they are the Light, armored for the fight,
Laying hands for some; judging everyone.
Brandishing their shield, heavy arms to wield,
Oath that they uphold, hearts of shining gold,
Charge through the witches, and burn all the liches,
And smite on the back of their,
Greater Steed...!
