Siren Mage[edit]
Siren Mage’s can be both of the siren/banshee race and another race using a catalyst to project their magic. Siren mage’s use their sound magic to amplify their allies and discourage their foes.
Making a Siren Mage[edit]
A siren mage is equipped with a number of spells that buff their allies stats, damage, skills, etc… while providing debuffs and crowd control to foes.
Abilities: Siren Mages most valuable stat is charisma for spell casting. A support class such as the siren mage must be mobile and always by allies' side while avoiding attacks, this means a siren age should also focus on dexterity. A siren mage must be adept at handling many situations requiring intelligence for skill points
Races: Any, most often Sirens and Banshees
Alignment: Any
Starting Age: Moderate

Class Features[edit]
Features used by a Siren Mage are amplified through their catalyst.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Siren Mage is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the longsword, rapier, sap, short sword, shortbow, and whip. Siren Mages are proficient with light armor and shields (except tower shields). A Siren Mage can cast spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. However, like any other arcane spellcaster, a Siren Mage wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component (most do). A multiclass Siren Mage still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.
Spells: A Siren Mage casts arcane spells, which are drawn from the Bard spell list with a few additional spells added. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time. Every Siren Mage spell has a verbal component (singing, reciting, or music). To learn or cast a spell, a Siren Mage must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Siren Mage's spell is 10 + the spell level + the Siren Mage's Charisma modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a Siren Mage can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Siren Mage. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score. When Table: Siren Mage Spells Known indicates that the Siren Mage gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, he gains only the bonus spells he would be entitled to based on his Charisma score for that spell level.
The Siren Mage's selection of spells is extremely limited. A Siren Mage begins play knowing four 0-level spells of your choice. At most new Siren Mage levels, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Siren Mage Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a Siren Mage knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Siren Mage Spells Known are fixed.)

If the target succeeds the save they are instead inflicted with the dazed condition for 1d4 rounds. If the target is immune to either conditions Banshee Screech will not affect the target.
Can be used once per day and another use at lvl 18 per day
I'm Louder Than You! (Sp): At 15th level, when an opposing spell caster casts a spell, a siren mage could project their voice over the other spell caster. The target must make a concentration check against the casters' performance roll. If the target fails their spell is negated.
