Living Muse

A precise percussive strike: you flick a motif at a target within 60 feet to deal a sharp pulse of sonic force.

You sing or play a short phrase to lure or confuse. Target makes Wisdom save or be charmed and drawn up to 10 feet toward you. Can affect multiple targets in a 15-foot cone (save for half or negation).

A burst of percussive hits focused on a point. 20-foot radius, creatures make Constitution saves or take thunder damage and are deafened for 1 minute (save ends).

A clear, penetrating phrase that grants allies within 30 feet advantage on Wisdom and Intelligence checks for 1 minute.

A two-part attack: first hit deals force damage; you may spend an extra Muse Point to follow with a wave that knocks prone (Strength save negates knockdown).

You weave an echo that latches onto a sound source. For 1 hour, you can recall that sound and reproduce it at will, or spend a Muse Point to cause the echo to burst and distract (grant allies advantage on next attack vs creatures within 5 ft of the sound).

Create a 10-foot aura of humming sound that grants nearby allies a temporary shield equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1) at the start of their turns. The aura lasts 1 minute or until you stop it. Activating costs 2 Muse Points.

A sharp note that pierces concentration. Target makes a Constitution save or lose concentration on a spell. On fail they also take psychic damage.

As an action, expend 2 Muse Points to grant allies in 30 feet temporary hit points equal to 2d8 + your Charisma modifier and remove one short-term condition (frightened, exhausted level 1).

You launch a band of resonant binding that can restrain an enemy. They make a Strength saving throw; on failure they are restrained, on success they take minor sonic damage and are slowed.

A focused burst that travels and rebounds. On a hit it deals thunder damage and jumps to another target within 15 ft at -2 to hit. You can spend 1 extra Muse Point for an additional jump.

You create a 20-foot-diameter spherical field of oppressive sound. Creatures that enter or start their turn inside must succeed on a Wisdom save or be frightened and take psychic damage.

As a reaction when an ally is targeted by an attack, spend 1 Muse Point to impose disadvantage on the attack and cause the attacker to take minor sonic backlash.

A concentrated bolt of crescendo energy. Spend 2–4 Muse Points to change range, damage and area: at 2 points it is a 60-foot single-target 6d8 sonic; at 4 points it becomes a 60-foot cone 8d8 sonic with knockdown on failed Strength save.

A lesser version of your 20th-level Final Cadence usable in pieces: spend all remaining Muse Points to grant immediate effects (healing, burst damage, protective field) scaled by points spent.
