water-pipe?
Water-Pipe: The water-pipe, or hookah, is widely known among some human cultures, but its properties as a musical instrument were developed at the behest of a bronze dragon who wanted an instrument he could play without assuming anthropomorphic form. Many other dragons have since adopted this unusual instrument as their own.
Like a smoking hookah, the musical water-pipe works by filtering smoke through water held in a large, vaselike vessel. Instead of cooling the smoke for inhalation, however, the instrument version uses various special additions to enhance the sound of the bubbling water.
Some water-pipes contain tiny crystal beads that tinkle against the sides of the vessel each time a puff of smoke stirs the water. Others have chimes or even tiny cymbals hung inside, which strike one another and ring softly whenever air moves within the vessel.
Dragons have seemingly boundless enthusiasm for the water-pipe and its music. In fact, dragon musicians
sometimes spend years contemplating possible improvements and refinements. Most humanoids find
water-pipe music soothing, but not particularly interesting. Occasionally, however, a humanoid sorcerer or a
kobold takes up the water-pipe to stress his or her affinity with dragons.
Bardic Music: When played to inspire courage, the water-pipe raises the morale bonus on saving throws
against fear effects from +2 to 4 for the performer's allies. However, it also reduces the bonus on saving throws against charm effects from +2 to +0 for al such listeners. Because the music of this instrument is so soft, it affectsonly targets within 30 feet.
