Song of Courage (Stance; Su)
Beginning at 1st level, the bard can use this performance to increase the fighting spirit of their allies (including themselves), significantly improving their damage output. Each round that the bard sustains this performance, they may choose a number of their allies (including themselves) to affect with this performance, based on their current Bard level, as described below:
- At Bard levels 1 - 10, the bard may affect up to 3 allies.
- At Bard levels 11 - 20, the bard may affect up to 4 allies.
- At bard levels above 21, the bard may affect up to 5 allies.
All allies chosen to be affected must be within range of the performance (typically within 30 feet of the bard), and must be able to perceive the performance.
While under the effects of this song, affected allies receive a bonus to all damage they inflict with each successful attack, based on the number of Bard levels the bard performing the song possesses. This applies to any attack that inflicts damage, whether it be melee, ranged, spell-based, or some other class feature. If the base attack does not deal damage, it cannot gain damage from this song alone.
The amount of bonus damage granted by Song of Courage is detailed in the table below:
Bard Levels Bonus Die 1 - 5 +1d6 6 - 10 +1d8 11 - 15 +1d10 16 - 20 +2d6 21 - 25 +2d8 26 - 30 +2d10 31+ +3d8
The damage provided by Song of Courage is bonus damage. This means it does not increase with level, nor is it multiplied on a critical hit. However, since it is not precision damage, any resistances or defense against precision damage an enemy might have do not apply to this damage.
The damage type of the bonus damage is the same as the attack which caused it. If the attack dealt more than one type of damage, the attacker may choose which of those damage types the bonus damage inflicts. Damage of the same type is always added together before mitigating abilities (such as DR or ER) are applied to it.
No creature may be under the effects of more than one performance, even if they are being performed by different bards.
- Finale: One ally that is affected by this performance at the time the finale is triggered may re-roll a to-hit roll that they just made, and may add +1 to the roll for each experience tier of the Bard class that the bard possesses (i.e. +1 at Bard levels 1-5, +2 at bard levels 6-10, +3 at bard levels 11-15, etc., to a maximum of +7 at bard levels 31+). If the attack hits, the affected ally may include the Song of Courage bonus damage in their damage result.
