Mar 21, 2008 19:34:20 if your a bard is it possible to write a mesmorising tune and then play it and by doing so causing fascinate, obviously this will cost your your ability to facisnate that day but then the next day you would have a scroll of fascinate and your other fascinate ability. also would it still count as a magical device, for the way i see it even though its magical its not written in arcane texts its still musical, so would you have to roll a perform check for it. or use magical device either way the DC would be the same as the perform check you took when writing it which also means the will save DC would be the same, or am i wrong about this, can someone help me.

that how i see it in my mind

Quite correct. Scrolls contain spells.

Mar 21, 2008 22:04:27 you could, however, make a scroll of Hypnotic Pattern, which is basically the same effect.

PS: man...that's one hell of a run-on sentence. Try using periods and capital letters next time.

Mar 22, 2008 6:37:40 No, he couldn't (not by the current rules). The point here is that Bardic Music isn't the same as spell casting. The bardic ability to Fascinate via performance does not translate to either arcane or divine magic. It's magic, yes, but it's a different sort of magic.

Mar 22, 2008 6:54:32 Although... it seems logical that there *should* be some way of embedding bardic song abilities in magic items like scrolls.

I'd house-rule that a bard character could try to research this magic item creation technique. It would take a lot of time, and probably end up costing a feat (as any other sort of magic item creation ability does) but it seems plausible.

But it would still be a house rule.
