Song of Heroism (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 Heroics (Stance; Su)

A bard of 15th level or higher can inspire tremendous heroism in their allies. 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 - 24, the bard may affect up to 4 allies.
• At bard levels above 25, the bard may affect up to 5 allies.

Inspired creatures gain a +2 competence bonus on saving throws and AC, and add +20 feet to each of their movement speeds (though this does not increase the distance of 5-foot steps), and a number of temporary hit points equal to the bard's Bard level. The effects last for as long as the targets are able to perceive the performance.

Once the performance ends, or the affected creature moves out of range, all effects immediately end, except for the temporary hit points, which remain until the end of the encounter, or they are removed by damage.

Inspire heroics is a mind-affecting ability that relies on audible and visual components.

Finale: One affected ally can immediately slide 4 squares.
