Song of Bracing (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.

Countersong (Stance; Su)

At 1st level, a bard learns to counter magic effects that depend on sound. Each round of the countersong 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.

Any time one or more of the Bard's affected allies are targeted by a sonic or language-dependent enemy attack, all of the allies may roll a saving throw against that enemy effect, and all of them use the highest result rolled. Note: The unaffected allies are supporting their brethren, not making active saving throws against the enemy effect. As a result, if they are later directly targeted they can still be affected by enemy abilities.

If an affected ally is already under the effect of a non-instantaneous sonic or language-dependent attack, all affected allies of the Bard may roll a saving throw against the effect each round they hear the Countersong, each using the highest result among them.

Countersong does not work on effects that don't allow saves.

Finale: None
