Countersong (Su): At 1st level, a bard learns to counter
magic effects that depend on sound (but not spells that
have verbal components). Each round of the countersong
he makes a Perform (keyboard, percussion, wind, string, or
sing) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard
(including the bard himself ) that is affected by a sonic or
language-dependent magical attack may use the bard’s
Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after
the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves
to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong
is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous sonic or
language-dependent magical attack, it gains another
saving throw against the effect each round it hears the
countersong, but it must use the bard’s Perform skill
check result for the save. Countersong does not work on
effects that don’t allow saves. Countersong relies on
audible components.
Distraction (Su): At 1st level, a bard can use his
performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight.
Each round of the distraction, he makes a Perform (act,
comedy, dance, or oratory) skill check. Any creature within
30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself ) that is
affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical
attack may use the bard’s Perform check result in place of
its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the
Perform skill check proves to be higher. If a creature within
range of the distraction is already under the effect of a
noninstantaneous illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment)
magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the
effect each round it sees the distraction, but it
must use the bard’s Perform skill check result for the save.
Distraction does not work on effects that don’t allow saves.
Distraction relies on visual components.
Fascinate (Su): At 1st level, a bard can use his performance
to cause one or more creatures to become fascinated with
him. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90
feet, able to see and hear the bard, and capable of paying
attention to him. The bard must also be able to see the
creatures affected. The distraction of a nearby combat
or other dangers prevents this ability from working. For
every three levels the bard has attained beyond 1st, he can
target one additional creature with this ability.
Each creature within range receives a Will save (DC 10
+ 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Cha modifier) to negate
the effect. If a creature’s saving throw succeeds, the bard
cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24
hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly
and observes the performance for as long as the bard
continues to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes
a –4 penalty on all skill checks made as reactions, such
as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target
allows the target to make a new saving throw against the
effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a
weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target,
automatically breaks the effect.
Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mindaffecting
ability. Fascinate relies on audible and visual
components in order to function.
Inspire Courage (Su): A 1st-level bard can use his
performance to inspire courage in his allies (including
himself ), bolstering them against fear and improving
their combat abilities. To be affected, an ally must be
able to perceive the bard’s performance. An affected ally
receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm
and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and
weapon damage rolls. At 5th level, and every six bard levels
thereafter, this bonus increases by +1, to a maximum of +4
at 17th level. Inspire courage is a mind-affecting ability.
Inspire courage can use audible or visual components. The
bard must choose which component to use when starting
his performance.
Inspire Competence (Su): A bard of 3rd level or higher
can use his performance to help an ally succeed at a task.
That ally must be within 30 feet and be able to hear the
bard. The ally gets a +2 competence bonus on skill checks
with a particular skill as long as she continues to hear
the bard’s performance. This bonus increases by +1 for
every four levels the bard has attained beyond 3rd (+3 at
7th, +4 at 11th, +5 at 15th, and +6 at 19th). Certain uses of
this ability are infeasible, such as Stealth, and may be
disallowed at the GM’s discretion. A bard can’t inspire
competence in himself. Inspire competence relies on
audible components.
Suggestion (Sp): A bard of 6th level or higher can use his
performance to make a suggestion (as per the spell) to a
creature he has already fascinated (see above). Using this
ability does not disrupt the fascinate effect, but it does
require a standard action to activate (in addition to the
free action to continue the fascinate effect). A bard can use
this ability more than once against an individual creature
during an individual performance.
Making a suggestion does not count against a bard’s total
rounds per day of bardic performance. A Will saving throw
(DC 10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Cha modifier)
negates the effect. This ability affects only a single
creature. Suggestion is an enchantment (compulsion),
mind affecting, language-dependent ability and relies on
audible components.
Dirge of Doom (Su): A bard of 8th level or higher can use his
performance to foster a sense of growing dread in his enemies,
causing them to become shaken. To be affected, an enemy
must be within 30 feet and able to see and hear the bard’s
performance. The effect persists for as long as the enemy is
within 30 feet and the bard continues his performance. This
performance cannot cause a creature to become frightened or
panicked, even if the targets are already shaken from another
effect. Dirge of doom is a mind-affecting fear effect, and it
relies on audible and visual components.
Inspire Greatness (Su): A bard of 9th level or higher can
use his performance to inspire greatness in himself or a
single willing ally within 30 feet, granting extra fighting
capability. For every three levels the bard attains beyond
9th, he can target an additional ally while using this
performance (up to a maximum of four targets at 18th
level). To inspire greatness, all of the targets must be able
to see and hear the bard. A creature inspired with greatness
gains 2 bonus Hit Dice (d10s), the commensurate number
of temporary hit points (apply the target’s Constitution
modifier, if any, to these bonus Hit Dice), a +2 competence
bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 competence bonus on
Fortitude saves. The bonus Hit Dice count as regular Hit
Dice for determining the effect of spells that are Hit Dice
dependent. Inspire greatness is a mind-affecting ability
and it relies on audible and visual components.
Soothing Performance (Su): A bard of 12th level or higher
can use his performance to create an effect equivalent to a
mass cure serious wounds, using the bard’s level as the caster
level. In addition, this performance removes the fatigued,
sickened, and shaken conditions from all those affected.
Using this ability requires 4 rounds of continuous
performance, and the targets must be able to see and
hear the bard throughout the performance. Soothing
performance affects all targets that remain within 30
feet throughout the performance. Soothing performance
relies on audible and visual components.
Frightening Tune (Sp): A bard of 14th level or higher can
use his performance to cause fear in his enemies. To be
affected, an enemy must be able to hear the bard perform
and be within 30 feet. Each enemy within range receives
a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Cha
modifier) to negate the effect. If the save succeeds, the
creature is immune to this ability for 24 hours. If the save
fails, the target becomes frightened and f lees for as long
as the target can hear the bard’s performance. Frightening
tune relies on audible components.
Inspire Heroics (Su): A bard of 15th level or higher can
inspire tremendous heroism in himself or a single ally
within 30 feet. For every three bard levels the character
attains beyond 15th, he can inspire heroics in an additional
creature. To inspire heroics, all of the targets must be able
to see and hear the bard. Inspired creatures gain a +4 morale
bonus on saving throws and a +4 dodge bonus to AC. This
effect lasts for as long as the targets are able to witness the
performance. Inspire heroics is a mind-affecting ability
that relies on audible and visual components.
Mass Suggestion (Sp): This ability functions just like
suggestion, but allows a bard of 18th level or higher to make
a suggestion simultaneously to any number of creatures
that he has already fascinated. Mass suggestion is an
enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting, languagedependent
ability that relies on audible components.
Deadly Performance (Su): A bard of 20th level or higher
can use his performance to cause one enemy to die from
joy or sorrow. To be affected, the target must be able to see
and hear the bard perform for 1 full round and be within 30
feet. The target receives a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard’s
level + the bard’s Cha modifier) to negate the effect. If a
creature’s saving throw succeeds, the target is staggered for
1d4 rounds, and the bard cannot use deadly performance on
that creature again for 24 hours. If a creature’s saving throw
fails, it dies. Deadly performance is a mind-affecting death
effect that relies on audible and visual components.
