How it works

  • Its power scales with your Perform skill and with the higher of your Bard and Skald levels. The song only improves when both reach the next band.
  • The bands (Perform rank at level) are: 3 at 1, 6 at 3, 9 at 6, 12 at 9, 15 at 12, 18 at 15, 24 at 20, 60 at 26 and 90 at 30.
  • At the top band allies get +3 attack bonus, +4 damage, +3 to all saving throws, 50 temporary hit points, +5 Armor Class and +10 to all skills.
  • You get +50% on every bonus. Your damage bonus is magical damage; allies get physical damage.
  • If you are a pure Bard (40 Bard levels) with Perform 109, your own bonuses are instead: +6 attack bonus, +15 damage, +8 Will, +6 Fortitude, +6 Reflex, 80 Temporary Hit Points, +8 Armor Class and +18 to all skills. A Skald cannot reach this: a prestige class stops at 30 levels.
  • At that same level, you and every ally the song reaches also get Regeneration of 4 hit points per round.
  • Lasting Inspiration multiplies the duration by 10. Lingering Song adds 5 rounds (30 seconds).
  • It cannot be dispelled.
  • A creature that cannot hear gets no bonus.

Where it comes from
