How about a War Drum (harp/lute/shaky thing)? A type of instrument that bards can play to increase the tactics of nearby party members by xx% for 10 seconds. (xx is based on musicianship, provocation, and peacemaking because it takes the right mix of convincing somebody to kill something and to be cool) It will increase the versatility of a bard template for those players who want the full bard experience.
If you were taking down hordes of ratmen, you would fight harder with some dude beside you playing a motivating tune on a harp.
