Base Class: Bard
For bards of the College of Rock, their music is more than just songs- it's a lifestyle.
Bonus Proficiencies
Starting at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Athletics, Performance, and one special instrument that also doubles as a martial weapon of your choice, and can be used as a spellcasting focus. Most bards use greataxes.
Rage Against the Machine
Starting at 3rd level, you can expend one use of bardic inspiration to invoke a special performance. You gain the benefits of a barbarian’s rage for up to a minute as long as you can maintain concentration as if on a spell. The extra rage damage done is of the poison type and only applies to your “Axe”.
Symphony of Destruction
Starting at 6th level, when you hit a creature with your special bardic weapon, you can expend one bard spell slot to deal your choice of fire, thunder, or lightning damage to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage. The extra damage is 2d4 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d4 for each spell level higher than 1st. This ability deals 1d4 extra damage to constructs as a result of having “rage against the machine”.
Of Heaven and Hell
Starting at 14th level, you can cast Reverse Gravity using your bardic weapon. In addition to the normal effects of the spell, all creatures in the area of effect take 1d4 radiant and 1d4 necrotic damage each round they are in the area for the duration of the spell. You can use this ability once per long rest.
