Mar 26, 2008 14:37:40		Good mornin, chaps and chapppettes, as before looking into the bard class i found some unusual occurences.

I have a bard, in the Greyhawk Ruins thing , this gnome has elected to choose some spurious things along the way.(Melodic Casting CM)

His name is Ruprecht Zimmerman(I'm sure you'll work it out), and as such he has Perform Percussion(tambourine)as well as Perform Singing.

So this is my thinking,(please stop me at any point you may feel is wrong or unachieveable by the raw, rules etc..)

First Round:
Standard;cast Harmonize Greater(ROS allows bardic music as a move action)
Move; Perform; (Tambourine); fascinate

Second round:
Standard; cast Harmonize Greater
Move; cont. Perform;Tambourine;Fascinate
Non Attributed(free action);Suggestion

Third Round:
Standard; Perform (Sing); Fascinate
Move;cont. Perform Tambourine; Fascinate
Non Attributed(free action);Suggestion
Non Attributed(free action);Suggestion

Fourth Round:
Move; Perform (Sing); Fascinate
Move;cont. Perform Tambourine; Fascinate
Non Attributed(free action);Suggestion
Non Attributed(free action);Suggestion

Rinse and repeat??
How long before the wiggles take over an entire town??
The real question is, is there anywhere that says i cannot do two bardic music's at the same time ??

Note i cast Harmonize for both performs in case you may read it that way ( i think thats reasonable)

The main problem is that I was sure that i read somewhere (maybe in 3rd) that you couldn't sing twice??

Disguise Spell from Complete Adventurer, page 108, is the feat, I think.

Starting a Bardic music effect is a Standard action, maintaining a Bardic music effect that requires the Bard to concentrate also requires a Standard action. I haven't seen anything that lets you use a Move action to take a Standard action, everything I have seen says just the reverse, so I don't see how you could use 2 Standard actions in a round.

(ROS allows bardic music as a move action)

Got a page reference? And I am assuming you mean Races of Stone?

Yep. Greater Harmonize explicitly allows you to wind up with two Bardic music effects running simultaneously. By that point, though, you have knocked yourself down to only having swift actions left, though, if you need to concentrate on both effects.
