>"You know captain, you should become a maiden, too. Why? Because we get the power of divine protection from the ichnia. In the same way, I think my feelings are giving you strength. You don't understand? It's hard to explain feelings." Diola shrugged, managing to turn the motion into a graceful dismissal.
>Xolotl has the divine ability to impact any and all things within it's domain

Why not indeed.
"Ti Icniuhtli Xolotl!"

Was a fun event.
In terms of games, I can distinctly recall one M&M3 one-shot I played in where one of the characters pretty much did this. Threw a giant pop concert performance (her day job) as a trap for the villain, who we knew was looking for a place with a lot of potential hostages. Was a fantastic climax battle, and managed to trick the audience into thinking it was some kind of light show.
Plan almost failed pretty badly, our Inspector Gordon stand-in chewed the group out behind a closed door for recklessly endangering a bunch of innocent people.

That's irrelevant for an idol. All an idol needs to be is jailbait. In any system but Pathfinder more than 50% of the PCs will be automatically disqualified.

How does that even work? Someone's "weakness" in a combat sense is a kind of music? Just because the English language let you construct that sentence doesn't mean that it meant anything.

I never thought it would come in handy except for the butload of skills and change focus.

>>55362910
He didn't say 'in combat', and lots of unstoppable foes had fatal weaknesses.

Much like how Polyphemus' fatal weakness was wine, you have to lure the villain into a false sense of security with a gentle rendition of "Loadingu~" before, presumably, driving a giant spike into his eye.

>>55361647

My character is a top notch singer and good dancer but she don't fit into "idol" category because she is 23, not 14. So we will find random 14 years old girls, dress them in weeb outfits and go as their managers while my character will rant about villian is a giant pedo with no taste in women and music at all.

Well... the BBEG is a neckbeard who loves maids and idols so this is actually what we do on a regular basis: organize concerts with popular idols from Japan to trap the villain and kick his ass.

He always comes back for more though.

>>55362910

I've got it happening in a DtD game. The enemies in question can possess people in despair or psychological disarray. In contrast, they get less powerful and able to influence people the more psychologically strong and positive they are.

Music isn't the ONLY way to deal with them (They've proven to have issues with fanatics like the Word of Blake or disciplined, elite units) but it's a good method.

>>55357100
We just do it Macross style and hire a team of popstars to do it while we fly giant robot jets and shoot missles at the baddies

Yak de culture

>>55357100
The party's mission is now to find the best idols in the land, as well as to do side quests to fund them. The final battle will be basically be a reskin of the old "hold the line while the NPCs set the bomb" type missions.

Sounds like a fun campaign to me. Especially if hijinks happen along the way, like the BBEG's minions trying to kidnap the idols, or the only suitable tailor for the costumes being a moody aranea in the middle of a cursed forest.

My previous character was a cleric-bard gestalt with perform: sing, stringed instruments and oratory, while having a trappy antipaladin with perform: sing and dance in the party. We were looking to eventually get a few of our captives and/or rescued monsters to join the band and use it as a cover to tour the land, subtly spreading our influence.

An opposing party of musical heroes would have been pretty fun too.

Obviously dependable manager type character, but later revealed to be a former idol who still has the moves.

Abusing the hell out of the religious conversion rules in PF. Cleric/Negotiator Bard, basically ran around like one of the priests from Age of Empires but cute and female.

The antipaladin was gestalted with mesmerist, so a better synergy for primary attributes but needed Str and Con, especially being an elf.
