==Palliative Utterance (Stance; Su)==
| Type=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Type}}}
A bard of 16th level or higher can use his performance to help several allies withstand attacks. At sixteenth level, the bard may palliate two allies. For every four bard levels the bard attains beyond 16th, he can palliate the damage taken by one additional creature (to a maximum of seven allies at level 32). All allies must be within range of the performance (30 feet) and able to see and hear the bard. From the time the bard begins his palliative utterance until the end of the bard's turn after he stops using the palliative utterance, all allies take all hit point damage as one-half normal damage (round up) and one-half non-lethal damage (round down). As normal, once the total damage exceeds their hit-points they are incapacitated, but recall that non-lethal damage heals much more quickly and easily than regular damage.

Song of Defiance (Stance; Su)

Beginning at 18th level, the bard can use this performance to help an ally withstand all attacks made against them.

The bard may choose a single ally (which could be themselves) to affect with this performance. The ally chosen must be within range of the performance (typically within 30 feet of the bard), and must be able to perceive the performance.

Each round that an ally is the beneficiary of this performance, they suffer only one-half normal damage (rounding down) from any attacks or effects that inflict hit point damage. If the target has damage reduction or some other mitigating ability, it is applied to the damage after Song of Defiance divides it. Secondary effects, such as status conditions, are still resolved normally.

No creature may be under the effects of more than one performance, even if they are being performed by different bards.

Finale: The ally that is affected by this performance at the time the finale is triggered may push any enemies that are threatening them up to 10 feet (2 squares) each. This is forced movement.
