Not every bard is a horny mess who'll seduce anything in sight. Some are kind-hearted travellers who just love animals! Teddyn the Cat-minstrel is one such bard.
Teddyn started out as apprentice to a famed bard, but couldn't quite handle the pressure of high-performance... performing. He went out on the road on his own, and has been through dust-ups and destruction, losing friends and causes important to him. While some of his songs draw an audience and some draw derision, they all draw attention from the local wildlife, especialy cats. When he's finished up performing for the night, he'll often play a few extra songs for the town cats who have come to visit him in the tavern's barn or taproom. As a friend, Teddyn is loyal and brave, and he may decide to throw in his lot with a band of adventurers or a particular hero in town, if they're kind enough. He is a 2nd-level Bard, and can contribute some inspiration and basic spells to assist his friends. How you can use Teddyn in your game: - Teddyn might be working a gig in town when something goes awry, and might be able to help out if adventurers get involved. His help will be quite useful in the coming conflict. - Teddyn might seek out adventurers to deal with something far beyond his ability- a clan of Wererats who are terrorizing his furry friends. He comes to them, hat in hand, knowing he's asking the ridiculous. But he does it bravely. - A more experienced Teddyn may have founded an academy for minstrels, one that encourages them all to build their capability instead of running them ragged. He keeps a veritable swarm of cats in the grounds, and may even offer mentorship to a young PC or NPC. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 10 January 2020. Comments are closed.
