OK I'll admit it, this started as a joke among friends, but we decided to run with it....
Background
Somewhere on the 8th plane of hell, an insignificant and extremely bitter demon, known only as Sidvishus, sought to torment the parents and religious leaders who exiled him to an eternity of misery. As luck would have it, a group of impressionable young bards playing with a Ouija board inadvertantly summoned Sidvishus.
Promising them sex, drugs and baroque and roll ( ;D), he convinced them form the SVDs - Sidvishus Disciples. Also known as Deth Rokrs, these evil bards seek to sow havoc and inspire unruly behavior among their victims.
The Deth Rokr combines the singing ability of a bard with the necromancy of a pale master. By sacrificing the benefits of bard song, they gain powerful necromancy and energy draining abilities. Caster level and dc for special abilities (unless otherwise noted) equal to bard lvls + pm lvls.
