==Deadly Performance (Stance; Su)==
| Name=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Name}}}
A bard of 20th level or higher can use his performance to cause one enemy to suffer massive damage from joy or sorrow. To be affected, the target must be able to see and hear the bard perform for 1 full round and be within range of the bard's performance (30 feet). The target receives a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard's level + the bard's Cha modifier) to negate the damage. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, the target is merely [[Rattled]] until the start of the bard's next turn, and the bard cannot use deadly performance on that creature again for 24 hours. If a creature's saving throw fails, it takes 10 points of damage per Bard level. Deadly performance is a mind-effecting death effect that relies on audible and visual components.

Song of Mayhem (StanceSu)

Beginning at 23rd level, the bard can use this performance to cause one enemy to suffer massive damage through the power of joy and sorrow. The enemy creature must be within range of the performance (typically within 30 feet of the bard), and must be able to perceive the performance.

Once each round that the performance is sustained (including the round in which it is begun), the bard may select an enemy within range of the performance (typically within 30 feet of the bard), and who can perceive the performance. The bard may then make a Ranged Touch Attack as a free action. If the attack hits, the target suffers 10 points of sonic (energy, common) per Bard level of the bard, and they become Rattled until the start of the Bard's next turn. The target receives a Fortitude save, DC of 12 + half the bard's class level + the bard's CHA modifier. If they succeed, they suffer only half damage and are not Rattled.

The bard may never use Song of Mayhem's effect more than once per round, even if action points are used. Hit or miss, no creature can be targeted with Song of Mayhem more than once per encounter.

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

Finale: If the bard is hit by an enemy they have damaged with Song of Mayhem during this encounter, they can trigger the finale to force that enemy to re-roll the attack with a -4 penalty. The finale may be declared after the enemy determines they have hit the bard, but must occur before damage is resolved.
