Distraction (Su) Counter magic effects that depend on sight. Each round performing, make a Perform (act, comedy, dance, or oratory) skill check. Any creature within 30 ft. (including self) affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) may use your Perform check in place of rolled saving throw, if higher. Creature in range under effect of non-instantaneous illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) attack gain another saving throw each round it sees the distraction but must use your Perform check result. Does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Relies on visual components.

Fascinate (Su) Use performance to fascinate one or more creatures. Creatures must be within 90 ft., able to see and hear you, and capable of paying attention to you. You must also see the creatures affected. Distraction of nearby combat or other dangers prevents this ability from working.

Relies on audible and visual components and is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability.

Soothing Performance (Su) Requires 4 rounds of continuous performance, and all targets must be able to see and hear you within 30 ft. As mass cure serious wounds but also removes fatigued, sickened, and shaken conditions from all those affected. Relies on audible and visual components.

Spell Suppression (Su) Once you begin this performance, track how many rounds you keep it in effect. As immediate action, attempt to counter any spell you can identify with Spellcraft, so long as level of spell is equal to or less than number of rounds you have been performing. Counter as if using dispel magic cast at your bard level. Performance ends immediately, if successful. Relies on audible components.

Suggestion (Sp) Make a suggestion to a creature already fascinated. Doing so does not disrupt fascinate but requires a standard action (in addition to free action to continue the fascinate effect). Can use more than once against a creature during the performance. Does not count against daily use of bardic performance. Is an enchantment (compulsion), mind affecting, language-dependent ability and relies on audible components.

Discordant Voice When using oratory or singing bardic performance to create a spell-like or supernatural effect, allies within 30 ft. deal extra 1d6 sonic damage with successful weapon attacks stacking with any other energy damage the weapons may deal. Projectile weapons bestow this energy on their ammunition, but only if the target hit is within 30 ft. of you.

Extended Performance (Su) As swift action, when you stop concentrating on a performance, extend duration by 1 round per level of spell slot sacrificed. Performances that take effect after a specific number of rounds cannot be extended.

Magic Item Descriptions

glove of storing As free action, shrink and store one-handed item weighing up to 20 lbs. into glove. Item is so small it cannot be seen. Retrieve as free action.

jaunt boots 3/day—When making 5-foot step, instead move up to 15 ft. without provoking attacks of opportunity.

lesser quicken metamagic rod 3/day—When casting spell up to 3rd level, cast as swift action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity; can perform another action, even casting another spell, in the same round as you cast a quickened spell. A spell whose casting time is more than 1 round or 1 full-round action cannot be quickened. Cannot be used with any other metamagic rod.

ring of curing When you cast a conjuration spell of the healing subschool, all maximums to level-dependent healing increases by 2 (example, cure light wounds max is 1d8+7 or heal max 170). Does not increase caster level or amount of level-dependent healing provided.

staff of healing As standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, use spell completion to cast one of the following spells with your caster level and ability score modifier for the listed cost in charges: cure serious wounds (1), lesser restoration (1), remove blindness/deafness (2), remove disease (3). If one such spell is on your spell list and you are capable of casting it, may expend one level 3 spell to imbue one charge into staff per day (maximum 10 charges).

Magical Lineage (good hope) When applying metamagic feat that increases level by 1 or more to this one selected spell, reduce final adjusted level by 1.

Metamagic Feats Apply metamagic feat on the spot during casting, increasing standard action time to cast to full-round action (not the same as 1-round casting time). For spell with longer duration, it takes an extra full-round action to cast the spell. Does not change level of the spell, so the DC for saving throws does not increase. Does not affect spell-like abilities. Can apply multiple metamagic feats (assuming you have an available spell slot of the resulting level) but cannot apply same metamagic feat to single spell multiple times.

Extend Spell Duration is doubled. Cannot affect spell with duration of concentration, instantaneous, or permanent. Uses spell slot one level higher than spell's actual level.

Spellsong As swift action, combine spell casting time with Perform check and observers make opposed Perception or Sense Motive check to realize you are also casting a spell. As move action, can use 1 round of bardic performance to maintain a bard spell with concentration duration. Cannot cast another spell in same round or the spell ends when the bardic performance ends.

Wand Mastery (Ex) When using a wand containing a spell on your spell list, use your Cha modifier to set DC and use your level in place of wand's caster level.
