Harmony is a mind-affecting ability, though the bard need not share a language with the target.  Harmony is a spell-like ability that provokes AOO's unless a concentration check is made to combat-cast.  Harmony is treated as though it belongs to the illusion school of spells, even though it is not a spell, for purposes of feats like [[Spell Focus]]. Harmony is also subject to Spell Resistance if the targeted creature(s) have it.  Unlike most spell-like abilities, bards can get a bonus attack with Harmony while under the effects of a Haste spell, when making a full attack action.

If the target is successfully struck by Harmony, the Bard may first [[Types_of_Movement#Forced_Movement|Slide]] the target 1 square as forced movement.  As with all forced movement, this ignores difficult terrain, never provokes attacks of opportunity, and may be negated if the target elects to fall [[Prone]].  In addition to the slide, Harmony inflicts 1d6 + CHA modifier of piercing damage at level 1, and this damage increases by 1d6 at each odd level, as detailed in [[#Table:_Bard|Table: Bard]].

Beginning at level 8, the bard may use harmony twice during a full attack action. The second attack is at BAB - 5.  Beginning at level 21, the Bard may use Harmony three times during a full attack action, although the third attack is made at -10.  Harmony may never be used in the same round as Staccato, unless an action point is used.
