Curse Song Notes #
- This feat may be used once per bard level per day.
- A Curse Song cannot be started while silenced, nor will it affects silenced creatures.
- If used against targets already affected by a Curse Song, only the strongest will apply.
- The feat lingering song increases the duration by 5 rounds (15 rounds total). The feat lasting inspiration increases the duration 10 times (100 rounds total). They stack, but lasting inspiration is applied first; so, with both feats, the duration is 105 rounds.
- Other feats that may be of interest to someone using bard song include Extra Music.
- This ability can be used while Polymorphed.
- The perform skill required for the highest levels of bard song is unattainable without magic items.
