Dirgesingers are a DND prestige class for Bards. Dirgesingers are emo bards of any non-good alignment that only sing sad songs about things like death, dying, and how they wear tight pants to get girls to like them but they still can't get dates. Dirgesingers, much like regular emo faggots, seek to spread the disease of their unending melancholy and melodrama to the masses through song because they think only depressed faggots understand the world.  
An unloved [[Dungeons and Dragons]] Prestige Class for [[Bard]]s. Non-good bards who sing depressing songs about death and lamentation, they actually make a pretty fucking awesome support class. It's a 5-level PRC, whose advantages include affecting undead with Bardic Music (a side effect of the feat required for it, actually), ''damaging enemies' stats round-by-round until they save against it'', and the piece de la resistance, ''animating a dead enemy with all of its class skills and abilities for as long as they continue to play''. The benefits of murdering an enemy healer so it can provide healing to your party, a mage so it can cast offensive or defensive spells for you should be obvious - potentially ANY dead creature can be bound to your will - with all its abilities - using this class - and it's available a hell of a lot earlier than several counterparts in other class combinations.  


Dirgesingers are rock gods in death-obsessed goth cultures and are allowed into secret hierarchies and shit, where death priests ask them to write faggy emo poetry about the recently deceased that makes their death sound overly important, then put it to song and perform it at the funeral.
So totally from the book ''Libris Mortis'' it hurts. A remarkably useful class and an unsung powerhouse class for the Bard, alongside Fiend-Blooded.


They're also pretty rubbish because they can only russerect one thing at a time which pretty much moeans the only other thing they can do is make everyone around them suicidally depressed.
If you insist your music is Linkin Park or the like, however, /tg/ will mock you. It will likewise mock you anyway for running a bard, but whatever.

An unloved Dungeons and Dragons Prestige Class for Bards. Non-good bards who sing depressing songs about death and lamentation, they actually make a pretty fucking awesome support class.

The benefits of murdering an enemy healer so it can provide healing to your party, a mage so it can cast offensive or defensive spells for you should be obvious - potentially ANY dead creature can be bound to your will - with all its abilities - using this class - and it's available a hell of a lot earlier than several counterparts in other class combinations.
