It would look something like this (male version anyway) First two: Jester and then Musician(Bard).

PS - It's my artwork, I swear by it and can prove it if anyone has any... hesitations.

instead of the instrument being a weapon they could just show up during the spells because the skill line would be under guilds and not weapons

great idea .

I have a feeling that IF they add new classes, a Bard-support character will be first on the list. Either that, or a fire/poison based mage class (which we desperately need, the sorc. is ridiculous and I hate relying on staves for spells)

.... There is a pyromancer class and a poison class dude ardant flame if built with cloth is a pyromancer and the siphoning tree is basically necromancer if you build cloth. Have you never explored the idea that Mage are not the only caster class?

I feel like if I was in the middle of a life-and-death fight and my teammate decides now is a great time to display their musical talent, I would want to beat them to death with their lute afterwards lol

EDIT: Actually though now that I think about it...
War drums would be kinda cool, in large AvA matches. Could maybe add a collective buff or something with the more people drumming?
