n be maintained as a free action. Changing from one type to another requires a s
td. action. BPs end if the bard is killed or disabled and can't maintain them. C
an only use one type of BP at a time.
Known types of BP:
Countersong (Su): Counters magic depending on sound (not spells w/verbal
req.) Each round he rolls a Perform (keyboard, percussion, wind, string, or sin
g) skill check. Targets (inc. himself) within 30' under threat of such a magical
effect may use the bard's perform check result in place of his saving throw res
ult to determine success or failure. If a target in range is already being effec
ted, this BP allows an additional save each round of this BP using the bard's pe
rform check result. The effects to be resisted must be of a type that allow save
s. Countersong relies on audible components.
Distraction (Su): Counters magic depending on sight. Each round he rolls
a Perform

(act, comedy, dance, or oratory) skill check. Targets (inc. himself) within 30'
under threat of such a magical effect may use the bard's perform check result in
place of his saving throw result to determine success or failure. If a target i
n range is already being effected, this BP allows an additional save each round
of this BP using the bard's perform check result. The effects to be resisted mus
t be of a type that allow saves. Distraction relies on visual components.
Fascinate (Su): One target that can see, hear, & pay attention to the ba
rd & is within 90' becomes fascinated w/him. The bard must also be able to see
the affected. Distractions such as combat or other dangers prevent success. Each
3 levels after 1st, another target may be effected. Targets may Will save (DC 1
0 + 1/2 bard s level + the bard s Cha mod) to negate. If a target s save succeeds, he
can't be fascinated by that bard for 24 hours. If the save fails, the target sit
s quietly & observes the BP as long as the bard maintains it. The affected take 4
on skill checks made reactions, such as Perception. Any threat to the affected
allows them a new save vs. the BP. Obvious threats, such as the drawing of weapo
ns, casting of spells, or aimed weapons, breaks the BP. Fascinate is an enchantm
ent (compulsion), mindaffecting ability that relies on audible & visual componen
ts.
Inspire Courage (Su): This BP inspires courage in allies (including hims
elf), defends vs. fear and improves combat abilities. Allies must be able to per
ceive the BP. The affected get +1 on saves vs. charm & fear effects & +1 on atta
ck & dmg. At lv5 & every 6 CLs this bonus goes +1 (max +4) Inspire courage is mi
nd-affecting and can use either audible or visual components which are chosen at
