I have a PrC from my own forum that I've offered to a couple others and they loved it, so I decided to share it with Imythess. It's going to need some tweeking since my board is themed a little different. I'm looking for HELPFUL critizism (not just "this is wrong" or "that needs changed." Offer suggestions) to make this class apart of this forum. Stuff in parenthasis are my comments added just now. On another note, I had no specific order for the songs (except for Song of the Siren's Prelude being required for the second version). If you'd like to change than, be my guest.
Edit: Oh, and I almost forgot. We can get to required skills/feats after we work on the main feature.
Siren
Female Only (Not sure if you want males included or not. Your choice)
Siren is immune to all the effects of her songs
This includes allies unless otherwise noted
Might not work on the completely insane, but if one wouldn't work, all wouldn't work. Contact an admin/mod if a dispute arises. (Again, your call.)
[Any instrument] = Even if the Siren is playing one as she sings.
[Background instrument] = Only someone else can play while Siren sings.
All songs cost 250g (Maybe a bit extreme for this board. I'd recommend something closer to 200.)
Any instrument desired costs 100g each. (I was too lazy to list instraments on my board)

Song of the Siren, Prelude
A sweet melody few hear more than once. No lyrics, but a mastery of cords.
Entrances the soul almost to the point of hallucination
Does not discriminate gender
Calms even the mightiest of furies and rampages
Cancels effects of all Aura skills and Frenzy skill
Slows down effect of Lightning Reflexes to Combat Reflexes (I doubt this counts since you only have one of them here.)
Animal Spirits feel compelled to obey any non-life-threatening order.*
*This effect lasts for a few minutes after the song has ended. (A race specific to my board. Might be able to include animals and/or lesser beings here, but conflict arises on controling another PCs' familiars.)
---
---
Melody of Misery
A soft, near-wailing melody that grows exponentially haunting as the song continues.
Jars the nerves of even the battle-hardened warrior if exposed to for half a minute
Does not discriminate gender nor allies
Background instruments boost the effect of this song. (Pointless if it doesn't discriminate allies. I noticed this today -_- )
Lowers the concentration and ability to make a clean strike against anything
Ninjas can’t apply poison* and Shape shifters revert to their original form
*Previously applied poison isn’t affected. (Again, forum specific. I'm sure we could find something to replace this with)
Animal Spirits feel compelled to turn tail or hide until the song ends. (Maybe change it to animals/lesser beings/familiars.)
---
---
Caustic Strains (Just sounds painful, no? So much better than the previous song)
A high pitched strain on the voice that only last half a minute
Enough to jar the heads of everyone against the Siren
Can be blocked with hands to the ears only if done so in advance
Can only be used once every 4 hours to avoid self-injury. (4 RP hours, that is.)
Does not discriminate gender
Induces vomiting, dizziness, and clouded thoughts
Temporarily weakens everybody affected by it. Warriors only need to catch their breath. (Might be better to say "Mage-types are affected more heavily than warriors. Hardened fighters might only have to catch their breath or clear their head.")
Reduces the effect of all later spells by half for ~30 minutes (Not sure if this should stay included at all.)
All elemental summons vanish (A good thing to include here would be familiars.)

Song of the Siren
Requires Prelude
Another sweet melody few hear more than once.
Further entrances the soul into hallucination
Requires knowledge of the demon language (Forum specific.)
Works only on males
Does not discriminate allies
Any instrument boosts the effect of this song.
If Siren is playing an instrument, this song effects women to a lesser degree.
Surrounding men drop their weapons in awe to witness the Siren
The Siren transforms in each mans’ mind to form the perfect woman
Has a similar effect to the Divine Presence skill (Not sure if Imy has something like this)
Anyone affected will do any non-life-threatening order the Siren asks.*
*Effect lasts 60 seconds
---
---
The Master’s Paean
An upbeat, but toned down paean
Mentally enhances all men accompanying the Siren
Works only on allied males
Any instrument boosts the effect of the song.
Men in league with the Siren gain a temporary pain inhibitor
Increases the effect of protective spells and skills cast by the men
Increases their combat reflexes, as well. (See "Prelude" song)
All accuracies are reduced due to divided attention between their fight and the Siren. (Probably needs reworded)
---
---
Healing Hymn
A quiet melody that can be used in and out of battles
Affects everything only within 3 meters of the Siren
Does not discriminate gender nor allies
Works the same as Greater Regenerate (Or something similar)
Significantly lowers Siren’s awareness to her surroundings
Men tend to stop and listen, even for a few seconds, despite combat.
Siren can chant this song indefinitely.
---
---
Eulogy
A slow cantata that can either push allies to keep fighting by reducing their will to live, OR can demoralize enemies into going home to their lovers/family but cleanses them of physical pain until they leave. (Probably needs reworded, as well)
Changes depending on how the song is sung. The Siren chooses.
Does not discriminate gender.
Background instruments boost the effects on the song.
Song doesn't effect those conditioned to daily fighting, those that have no emotional entanglements, and those that have conditioned themselves against emotional pain.

These would do better if converted to musical enchantments. Such as I have in a topic from a few months ago. It doesn't seem to be a real PrC in the way it is ordered and it's one requirement which will need to be changed, nothing wrong with a guy bard. There aren't any levels or suggestions of how to do the levels. I'll remark on it more later, but my musical enchantment suggestion is I think on the second page of the suggestions. It was in use before the forum crash, but it has yet to be put up again.
