This confusing dirge of melody and counter-melody was composed for choirs celebrating various martyrs. It is intended to praise and magnify the glory of the lords, but to the uninitiated it sounds like a battle hymn. Prerequisites: Perform (percussion or sing) 10 ranks. Cost: 5th-level bard spell known. Effect: Evil creatures that hear the performance and fail a Will save against the effect are blinded and deafened for the duration. On a successful save, they are shaken instead. Undead or creatures with the evil subtype that fail their saves are stunned for the duration, while those that succeed are staggered. Use: 3 bardic performance rounds, +1 round per additional round of duration. Action: 3 full rounds. |
