Class Features

All of the following are class features of the bard.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A bard is proficient with basic weapons, 2 other weapon groups of his choice and exotic

weapons. Bards are proficient with light armor and shields (except tower shields). A bard can cast bard spells while wearing

light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. However, like any other arcane spellcaster, a bard

wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a

somatic component (most do). A multiclass bard still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells receivedfrom other classes.

Spells: A bard casts arcane spells, which are drawn from the bard spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without

preparing it ahead of time. Every bard spell has a verbal component (singing, reciting, or music). To learn or cast a spell, a

bard must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a bards

spell is 10 + the spell level + the bards Charisma modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a bard can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell

allotment is given on Table: The Bard. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score. When

Table: Bard Spells Known indicates that the bard gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, he gains only the bonus spells

he would be entitled to based on his Charisma score for that spell level.The bards selection of spells is extremely limited. A bard begins play knowing four 0-level spells of your choice. At most

new bard levels, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Bard Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the

number of spells a bard knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Bard Spells Known are fixed.)Upon reaching 5th level, and at every third bard level after that (8th, 11th, and so on), a bard can choose to learn a new spell

in place of one he already knows. In effect, the bard loses the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spells level

must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level bard

spell the bard can cast. A bard may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the

spell at the same time that he gains new spells known for the level.

As noted above, a bard need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has

not yet used up his allotment of spells per day for the spells level.

Bardic Talent: A bard has a number of amazing talents from his travels. He gains one at 1st level and gains an additional

one at 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 20th.

Bardic Knowledge: A bard may make a special bardic knowledge check with a bonus equal to his bard level + his

Intelligence modifier to see whether he knows some relevant information about local notable people, legendary items, or

noteworthy places. (If the bard has 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (history), he gains a +2 bonus on this check.)A successful bardic knowledge check will not reveal the powers of a magic item but may give a hint as to its general

function. A bard may not take 10 or take 20 on this check; this sort of knowledge is essentially random.

DC Type of Knowledge

10 Common, known by at least a substantial minority drinking; common legends of the local population.

20 Uncommon but available, known by only a few people legends.

25 Obscure, known by few, hard to come by.

30 Extremely obscure, known by very few, possibly forgotten by most who once knew it, possibly

known only by those who dont understand the significance of the knowledge.

Bardic Knack: You can add your charisma modifier to skill checks you are not trained in but have as a class skill.This gives you a minimum bonus of 4 in a class skill.

Bardic Sage: You are even more knowledgeable as a bard than previously believed. Your bardic knowledge checks

gain a +3 bonus. You also gain a +1 bonus to magic rating and to ability attacks with divination magics. You also may pick

three sorcerer/wizard spells from the divination or illusion schools that are not on the bard class list and that you can cast

and add them to your spells known.Prerequisite: Bardic knowledge.

Divine Bard: You become a divine bard. You gain a +2 bonus to Knowledge (Religion) checks Add three spellsfrom the following list to your spells known. 1st Level: Detect Evil, Detect Good, Detect Law,Protection from Evil,

Protection from Good, Protection from Law. 2nd Level: Consecrate, Desecrate, Gentle Repose. 3rd Level: Magic Circle

against Evil, Magic Circle against Good, Magic Circle against Law, Prayer. 4th Level:Remove Disease, Speak with Dead,

Sending. 5th Level:Divination, Restoration 6th Level: Commune, Hallow, Unhallow, Raise Dead. A bard may take this


5/12

multiple times. Each time, he gains a +1 bonus to magic rating with Conjuration (Healing) spells and may choose another 3

spells for his spells known list.Prerequisite: Must have a deity.

Harbriner of Doom: Some bards sing not of songs of heroes, but of songs of horrible things to come. You are such

a bard, and have learned such songs. You may, in place of an inspire competence song, may sing inspire fear. All opponents

that can see & hear you receive a penalty on saving throws vs. charm & fear effects and on attacks & weapon damage

(WillNeg, DC is Charisma-based). Effect lasts as long as you continue the song and the opponent can hear you plus 5

rounds. This penalty is equal to your inspire courage bonus. ie. If a bard has inspire courage +1 he can inspire fear for a

-1 penalty. This is a Mind-Affecting Fear effect.If you take this a second time, you may use encourage failure. One opponent that can see & hear and is within 30

receives a 2 penalty on all rolls for 1 round (WillNeg, DC is Charisma-based). This is a Mind-Affecting effect.A third taking of this ability gives you disenhearten. One opponent (plus one per three levels above 12th) that can

see & hear you for one full round and is within 30 receives a 4 penalty on saving throws and AC (WillNeg, DC is

Charisma-based). Effect lasts as long as you continue the song and the opponent(s) can hear you plus 5 rounds. This is a

Mind-Affecting effect.

A fourth taking of this gives you dirge of binding. One opponent becomes paralyzed (WillNeg, DC is Charisma-

based). Effect lasts as long as you continue the song and the opponent can hear you.

A fifth taking of this ability gives you drain prowess. One opponent (plus one per three levels above 16th ) that can

hear you for one full round and is within 30 receives 2 Negative Levels (WillNeg, DC is Charismabased). Effect lasts aslong as you continue the song and the opponent(s) can hear you. The negative levels never result in permanent level loss.

Prerequisite: Bard level 4th.

Savage Bard:You become a savage bard, tapping into the same primal fury as a barbarian. You gain a +2 to

Fortitude saves and Survival becomes a class skill for you. In addition, you add three spells from the following list to your

Spells Known. 1st level: calm animals, detect snares and pits, endure elements, summon nature's ally I. 2nd level: bull's

strength, pass without trace, summon nature's ally II. 3rd level:snare, summon nature's ally III. 4th level: insect plague,

summon nature's ally IV. 5th level: commune with nature, summon nature's ally V. 6th level: creeping doom, reincarnate,

summon nature's ally VI. You may take this a multiple times. Each additional time, you gain a +1 to melee damage and

another 3 spells off the list.

Bardic Music: Once per day per bard level, a bard can use his song or poetics to produce magical effects on those around

him (usually including himself, if desired). While these abilities fall under the category of bardic music and the descriptions

discuss singing or playing instruments, they can all be activated by reciting poetry, chanting, singing lyrical songs, singing

melodies, whistling, playing an instrument, or playing an instrument in combination with some spoken performance. Each

ability requires both a minimum bard level and a minimum number of ranks in the Perform skill to qualify; if a bard doesnot have the required number of ranks in at least one Perform skill, he does not gain the bardic music ability until he

acquires the needed ranks.Starting a bardic music effect is a standard action. Some bardic music abilities require concentration, which means the bard

must take a standard action each round to maintain the ability. Even while using bardic music that doesnt require

concentration, a bard cannot cast spells, activate magic items by spell completion (such as scrolls), or activate magic items

by magic word (such as wands). Just as for casting a spell with a verbal component, a deaf bard has a 20% chance to fail

when attempting to use bardic music. If he fails, the attempt still counts against his daily limit.

Countersong (Su): A bard traned in a Perform skill can use his music or poetics to counter magical effects that

depend on sound (but not spells that simply have verbal components). Each round of the countersong, he makes a Perform

check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself ) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent

magical attack may use the bards Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the

Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong is already under the effect of anoninstantaneous sonic or language-dependent magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round ithears the countersong, but it must use the bards Perform check result for the save. Countersong has no effect against effects

that dont allow saves. The bard may keep up the countersong for 10 rounds.Fascinate (Sp): A bard with trained in a Perform skill can use his music or poetics to cause one or more creatures to

become fascinated with him. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear the bard, and able to

pay attention to him. The bard must also be able to see the creature. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers

prevents the ability from working. For every three levels a bard attains beyond 1st, he can target one additional creature with

a single use of this ability.

To use the ability, a bard makes a Perform check. His check result is the DC for each affected creatures Will save againstthe effect. If a creatures saving throw succeeds, the bard cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its

saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and listens to the song, taking no other actions, for as long as the bard continuesto play and concentrate (up to a maximum of 1 round per bard level). While fascinated, a target takes a 4 penalty on skill

checks made as reactions, such as Listen and Spot checks. Any potential threat requires the bard to make another Performcheck and allows the creature a new saving throw against a DC equal to the new Perform check result.

Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a ranged weapon at the target,

automatically breaks the effect.Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability.

Inspire Courage (Su): A bard with trained in a Perform skill can use song or poetics to inspire courage in his allies

(including himself ), bolstering them against fear and improving their combat abilities. To be affected, an ally must be able

to hear the bard sing. The effect lasts for as long as the ally hears the bard sing and for 5 rounds thereafter. An affected allyreceives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 morale bonus on attack and weapon

damage rolls. At 8th level, and every six bard levels thereafter, this bonus increases by 1 (+2 at 8th, +3 at 14th, and +4 at

20th). Inspire courage is a mind-affecting ability.

Inspire Competence (Su): A bard of 3rd level or higher trained in a Perform skill can use his music or poetics to


7/12

help an ally succeed at a task. The ally must be within 30 feet and able to see and hear the bard. The bard must also be able

to see the ally.

The ally gets a +2 competence bonus on skill checks with a particular skill as long as he or she continues to hear the bardsmusic. Certain uses of this ability are infeasible. The effect lasts as long as the bard concentrates, up to a maximum of 2

minutes. A bard cant inspire competence in himself. Inspire competence is a mind-affecting ability.Suggestion (Sp): A bard of 6th level or higher trained in a Perform skill can make asuggestion (as the spell) to a

creature that he has already fascinated (see above). Using this ability does not break the bards concentration on the

fascinate effect, nor does it allow a second saving throw against thefascinate effect.

Making asuggestion doesnt count against a bards daily limit on bardic music performances. A Will saving throw (DC 10 +1/2 bards level + bards Cha modifier) negates the effect. This ability affects only a single creature (but see mass

suggestion, below). Suggestion is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting, language dependent ability.Inspire Greatness (Su): A bard of 9th level or higher trained in a Perform skill can use music or poetics to inspire

greatness in himself or a single willing ally within 30 feet, granting him or her extra fighting capability. For every three

levels a bard attains beyond 9th, he can target one additional ally with a single use of this ability (two at 12th level, three at

15th, four at 18th). To inspire greatness, a bard must sing and an ally must hear him sing. The effect lasts for as long as the

ally hears the bard sing and for 5 rounds thereafter. A creature inspired with greatness gains 2 bonus Hit Dice (d10s), the

commensurate number of temporary hit points (apply the targets Constitution modifier, if any, to these bonus Hit Dice), a

+2 competence bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves. The bonus Hit Dice count as regular

Hit Dice for determining the effect of spells that are Hit Dice dependant. Inspire greatness is a mind-affecting ability.Song of Freedom (Sp): A bard of 12th level or higher trained in a Perform skill can use music or poetics to create

an effect equivalent to the break enchantmentspell (caster level equals the characters bard level). Using this ability requires

1 minute of uninterrupted concentration and music, and it functions on a single target within 30 feet. A bard cant usesongof freedom on himself.

Inspire Heroics (Su): A bard of 15th level or higher trained in a Perform skill can use music or poetics to inspire

tremendous heroism in himself or a single willing ally within 30 feet. For every three bard levels the character attains

beyond 15th, he can inspire heroics in one additional creature. To inspire heroics, a bard must sing and an ally must hear the

bard sing for a full round. A creature so inspired gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws and a +4 dodge bonus to AC.

The effect lasts for as long as the ally hears the bard sing and for up to 5 rounds thereafter. Inspire heroics is a mind-

affecting ability.Mass Suggestion (Sp): This ability functions likesuggestion, above, except that a bard of 18th level or higher

trained in a Perform skill can make thesuggestion simultaneously to any number of creatures that he has already fascinated

(see above). Mass suggestion is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting, language-dependent ability.

Foreigner: Bards see and experience a lot during their career and gets to know all kinds of people. He knows and can do

many things that are normally reserved to other kinds of adventurers. At 2nd, 7th, 13th, and 19th levels, he gains specialability from the list below. Each foreigner ability can be selected only if the appropriate race or class exists in the setting.

Learned Talent: A bard can learn tricks from other classes he's been around or has read about or has just heard of. Some

bards just figure out these on their own. A bard can take any talent they want, but they must have all the prerequisites filled.

Learned Talents do overlap slightly with the class based foreigner abilities: this is intentional. Foreigner abilities can be

easily used to have some synergy with your learned talents.

If you want to take talents from a tree, you MUST take the first listed talent FIRST. It is the entry talent. After that, you may

pick talents as you wish from that tree. The first one listed is a prerequisite for all other talents in it's tree.

Binding Talent Tree

Binding Basics: When you take your first step in this talent tree, you can bind any one 1st level vestige each

day. You can change this vestige after 24 hours, and you must make a binding check (1d20 + Bard level +

Charisma modifier) to see if the binding is successful or flawed.

Binding Augment: When you are bound to a vestige, you can gain a +1 luck bonus to one of the following:

Defense, Fortitude save, Reflex save, Will saves, attack rolls or skill checks. You can change this bonuswhen you change vestiges.

Better Binding: You can bind the next highest level vestiges now. Prerequisite: You must have Binding

Basics and at least 1 other Binding talent before you can take this. You can take this a maximum of five

times (meaning you can have a maximum of 6th level vestiges). Also, you must take at least one other

binding talent before you take this again. So if you take Binding Basics at 2 nd level, and Suppress Sign at

3rd, you could take Better Binding (2nd) at 5th level. However, before you can take Better Binding (3rd), you

must take another Binding Talent (liker perhaps Binding Augment).

Bind Additional Soul: You can now bind 2 vestiges a day.Prerequisite: At least 5 other binding talents.

Bind Yet Another Soul: You can now bind 3 vestiges a day.Prerequisite: At least 13 other binding talents.

Bonus Feat: You gain a bonus binding feat.

Extra Augment: You may now have 2 binding augments as you wish to place them, even into the same

area.Prerequisite: Binding Augment, at least 2 other binding talents. After an additional 2 talents, you

may take this talent again.

Improved Augment: You may increase the options in your binding augments. In addition to the other

options, you also can have Resist 5 to one energy of your choice (acid, cold, electricity, fire or sonic), or

Damage Reduction 1/-.

hands. If you take it a third time, you gain arm, brow and throat. If you take it again, you gain waist and

shoulder. The fifth and final time opens your heart chakra. You must take two other incarnum talents

before taking this talent again. (Meaning if you took this talent at 3 rd level to open your crown chakra, youmust take two other incarnum talents before you can take it to open your feet and hands chakras).

Martial Talent Tree

Martial Initiate: You may pick 1 1st level stance and 1 1st level maneuver from any school (except Devoted

Spirit unless you already have at least 1 Divine talent). You may use these as an initiate of your bard level. You

pick 1 school plus one additional school for each point of Intelligence modifier you possess when you take thistalent. These are the schools for your martial bard. You can have 1 maneuver readied, plus one for each rank in

Additional Readied Maneuver you have.

Additional Maneuver: You learn another maneuver from any one school from your school list from a level you

have unlocked.

Additional Readied Maneuver: You can ready another maneuver.Prerequisite: At least 2 maneuvers.

Additional Stance: You gain an additional stance from any one school on your list from a level you have

unlocked.

Gain Next Level: You gain the next level of maneuvers. You may retrain one stance or maneuver to this new

level.Prerequisite: 2 maneuvers of the highest level you can know, plus either one stance or one additional

maneuver.

Psionic Talent Tree

Hidden Talent: The first step in this path is simple. You gain 2 power points (plus your charisma modifier), 3Lucid Dreaming points and one psionic power of your choice from any list. Your psionic rating is equal to the

amount of talents you have in this path. Every time you gain power points from a Psionic talent, you also gain

that many Lucid Dreaming points, plus your Charisma modifier. Your powers are all Charisma based for DCsand power points per day.

Additional Power: When you take this talent, you gain 2 more powers known from any level you have

unlocked and enough power points to manifest two of your highest level powers.

Phrenic Ballad: By spending a use of your bardic music, you may increase your psionic rating by 3 for the
