← PRC8 Sublime Chord

:: Sublime Chord ::

(PRESTIGE CLASS)
Music is not just a pleasant sound; it is also the expression of mathematical relationships fraught with significance. A member of the Sublime Chord prestige class sees music, even the powerful music of a skilled bard, as nothing more than a stepping-stone to true universal insight into the legendary song of creation heard at the dawn of time. Music and magic are actually one and the same, and an astute student who unravels the riddles of metre and pitch simultaneously reveals hidden secrets of great power.
