== Vuvuzelas are Underpowered in d20 ==
That's it. I'm sick of all this "Poor-Quality Trumpet" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Vuvuzelas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine Vuvuzela in South Africa for 2,400,000 Rands (that's about $316800) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even scare deaf people with my vuvuzela.

South African factory workers spend seconds working on a single vuvuzela and make up to a million in each mold to produce the finest instruments known to mankind.

Vuvuzelas are thrice as tuned as European violins and thrice as loud for that matter too. Anything a violin can play, a vuvuzela can play better. I'm pretty sure a vuvzela could easily play the entire 1812 Overture with a simple long breath.

Ever wonder why medieval Europe's composers never bothered conquering South Africa? That's right, they were too scared to face the disciplined South Africans and their vuvuzelas of musical perfection. Even in World War II, American soldiers listened to the music with the vuvuzelas first because their inspirational power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Vuvuzelas are simply the best instrument that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for vuvuzelas:

(Instrument : Perform (Wind Instruments))
+5 to Perform (Wind Instrument) checks when using the vuvuzela, and a +2 untyped bonus to all other performers in a group with the vuvuzela.
+2 to any Bardic or Virtuoso Music bonuses when playing the vuvuzela.
Double the range and duration of Bardic and Virtuoso music when playing the vuvuzela.
Bardic and Virtuoso music may be maintained as a swift action with a vuvuzela.
Grants 4 extra bardic music uses per day (as the Extra Music feat).
Counts as Masterwork

Deafening Blast
Swift Action
2d12 Sonic Damage in a 120 cone, Reflex save half. (DC is equal to a perform check made when using this ability)
19-20 x4 Crit
+2 to reflex save DC and damage

Now that seems a lot more representative of the deafening power of vuvuzelas in real life, don't you think?

tl;dr = Vuvuzelas need to be louder in d20, see my new stat block.
