What happens if a bard fails a saving throw?
If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and listens to the song, taking no other actions, for as long as the bard continues to 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.
How often does a bard have to see a creature?
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.
Do you have to have charisma to be a bard?
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 bard’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the bard’s Charisma modifier. Like other spellcasters, a bard can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day.
Can you trade fascinate for Song of the heart?
It doesn’t say anywhere that you don’t have to meet the prerequisites for a given feat, so it should be presumed that you do. That means you can’t trade out Inspire Competence at 3rd, since it’s a prerequisite for Song of the Heart. Fascinate can be traded out for quite a few alternate class features, namely Healing Hymn from Complete Champion.
