Party bard is not a manslut or a swindler, but a chaste, pious and guileless missionary, who sings sagas and hymns of his religion's heroes in combat and uses his massive bard charisma to turn people to his religion. His bardic knowledge comes from monastery library instead of drunken rumours.
So a cleric with a lute.

An inversion of a trope is still a trope.

>who sings sagas and hymns of his religion's heroes in combat
How does that works? I mean, sagas are long af. Does everyone stop fighting and nod appreciatively and only fight during the intermission?
>>51590494
So you took the bard and thought "How to make him more annoying?"

Party bard is not a swindler, but neither is he a missionary. He's the most brutal motherfucker you'll ever find, who sings ear-shattering hymns to violence, conquest and bloodshed, speaks only in growling and uses his massive bard charisma to literally melt flesh off the faces of his enemies and level buildings with disruptive soundwaves. His bardic knowledge comes from cursed tomes written in the blood of unicorns.

When the next combat starts, he just continues where he left of.
Mine is a shy, virginal maiden who has an enchanting singing voice

Sounds cute. I bet he'd be easy to impress in the sack, too.
My bard is a fat, balding guy with a beard but no moustache who can only sing worth a shit when he's drunk, and only knows vulgar songs.

That's... REALLY FUCKING GOOD.
The morale bonus is wanting to hear the end of it. But the only times he will tell the next part is when the party is engaged in valorous combat.

Not sure about shyness, but I reckon I could fix that second part for ya real quick, girly

What the balls? Blood of unicorns? I did not type that shit

But she's got a purty mouth
Someone made a homebrew with a bunch of stuff including class archetypes. One such archetype is a Bardic College called the College of Preaching. Look up the Compendium of Angels if you're interested.
