  1. You use sound as a powerful physical and and psychological weapon against whatever chooses to challenge your presence.

    This idea was based of the Axetar item in which it provides direct close range damage with knockback and debuffs to allow for a warrior or a Mage class to get out of, or be more effective when surrounded by a swarm of enemies with no escape routes.

    (This class will be rebalanced later)

    Items:

    Concert attire- tuxedo- chest armor- level 4 class artifact
    :armor_asorb:3 :dodge:-3 :sagacity:2 :nimbleness:-2 :caddishness:-2 :resist_existential:2 :resist_piercing:-1 :resist_aphyxiative:-2
    This suit is incredibly stiff, should have added more fabric softener.

    The Stand- band stand- mace class weapon- level 5 artifact
    :dmg_crushing:1 :counter:11 :edr:-3 :sight:-1
    15% chance to activate Norwegan Axeando (w/ the text "never interrupt a preformer")
    Its clunkiness while normally a hindrance, actually serves well as a viable distraction. Also it reminds you of the solo you forgot to practice.

    Level 3: Record Deal-unlocks People Skills
    :sagacity:2 :dmg_existential:1 :resist_existential:1

    Feeling comfortable with your financial securities, you radically change your career path to that of one who expresses themselves freely without hindrance despite tanking sales but is that taking away from what music and its foundations stand for?.

  2. Essence

    Essence Will Mod for Digglebucks

    TBH, it looks like every single level is just slightly overpowered. I don't have time to break it down and make in-depth suggestions, but I think if you multiply everything in this suggestion by 2/3rds, you'll be looking at something worth building on. The 4-:armor_asorb: starting tuxedo has to be banished, though. That's about 3 :armor_asorb: too much.

  3. I debuffed the class, thoughts?
