Evangelist
Typically hailing from a mundane pastime and shaped by some dramatic or traumatic event, the Evangelist is so fanatically devoted to their God that they are directly granted power by them, or at least they claim. Recognized as a necessity by some priests, an inevitablity by others, and a liability by the rest, the evangelist typically picks just a few aspects of their chosen deity's portfolio and follows them zealously and to the letter. The foremost goal and greatest accomplishment for an evangelist would be someone's conversion from beliefs they view as false to acceptance of their own. To such an end the evangelist is capable of casting powerful boons on their allies, and bringing terrible punishment on their enemies.

Being able to cast 0 spells of a certain level per day means the bard cannot cast spells of that level unless bonus spell slots of the appropriate level are granted by a high charisma.
As a rule of thumb, evangelists can cast spell levels up to a third their class level, rounded up.
Chord of Power
At level 20, Bard Song gains an additional 30 rounds to its duration and grants spell resistance equal to 10 + evangelist level.
Ballad of the Banshee
At level 20, Curse Song gains an additional 30 rounds to its duration and deals sonic damage equal to double the perform skill.
Bard Song Bonuses
Evangelists are able to sing a song that can bolster their allies. Deafened creatures are not affected by the bard's singing. The song affects all allies within 30 feet and lasts for 10 rounds. The higher the bard's final perform skill and class level, the better the bard song. This ability is a free action.
