Drum, Arcane Implement (4e Equipment)

File:Placeholder

Cost: 15gp A drum is an instrument most often made of a cylindrical piece of wood and a membrane, or skin, stretched over one of its openings and struck, either directly with the player's hands, or with a drumstick, to produce sound. A Bards drum can also be used as a musical instrument for playing music or as a focus for rituals requiring a musical instrument as a focus. Bards can also use drums as implements for their spells by weaving magical rhythms onto the battlefield; healing their allies or defeating the enemies. A War Chanters would use her drum to aid in rallying her allies, just as a Life Singer can soothe his foes into slumber. Using a non-magical drum gains no enhancement bonus, but an enhanced drum gains bonuses to your attack rolls and damage rolls with your Bardic powers.
