Daring Spadonari [Tactical]
Your flashy fighting style inspires allies and to hinders opponents.

Prerequisites: Weapon Focus, Bardic Music, Cha 13, Perform (Weapon Drill) 9 ranks, BAB +4

Benefit: The Daring Spadonari feat enables the use of three tactical maneuvers, which may only be performed with a melee weapon to which the character has applied the Weapon Focus feat.

1) Singing Sword: Your attacks are made interspersed with dazzling flourishes. You may now use Perform (Weapon Drill) in conjunction with Bardic Music. Furthermore, when you use a full-round action start a Bardic Music song you may, for the duration of the effect, concentrate on it as a swift action - instead of a standard - immediately after making an attack.

2) Dramatic Flourish: You can perform tricks with your weapon to frighten or confuse your enemies. By expending a use of your Bardic Music as an immediate action, you may substitute any attack before the start of your next turn with an attempt to feint or demoralise an opponent, using Perform (Weapon Drill) instead of Bluff or Intimidate. Aside from the exceptions noted above, you must still follow all of the normal rules for doing so.

3) Masterful Succor: You know how to most effectively use your fighting style to distract foes. When using the Aid Another action to grant an ally a +2 circumstance bonus to his attack roll or armor class you may make a Perform (Weapon Drill) check instead of an attack roll. For every 10 points of the check above 10, the bonus increases by 1.
