Song of Focus (Performance)

Performance Name (Stance; Su)

A bard with this performance can do something cool. 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.

{{{Description}}}

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 do something interesting.

Inspire Greatness (Stance; Su)

A bard of 9th level or higher can use his performance to inspire greatness in their allies, granting extra fighting capability. The bard may choose to affect a number of their allies (including themselves) depending on their level, as long as all of those allies are within 30 feet of the bard, and can perceive the performance.

• At Bard levels 1 - 12, the bard may affect up to 3 allies.
• At Bard levels 13 - 25, the bard may affect up to 4 allies.
• At bard levels above 26, the bard may affect up to 5 allies.

A creature inspired with greatness gains a +2 competence bonus to to-hit and damage rolls, a +2 competence bonus to Fort saves, +2 temporary hit points per level of the affected target, and the target is counted as being two levels higher when determining the effect of spells that are caster-level dependent. Inspire greatness is a mind-affecting ability and it relies on audible and visual components.

Finale: One Inspired ally may immediately end a single weak or moderate status condition on themselves. If the condition is Prone, they may stand up as a free action without provoking attacks of opportunity). If the status condition is caused by something that the ally is still being affected by (such as a web spell, a grapple or another bard's performance), the ally must check to see if the status condition is re-applied at the start of their next turn.
