So if I am reading this right
If the observer is in a situation that demands immediate attention, such as combat, you must critically succeed to fascinate it and the Perform action gains the incapacitation trait.
So with this feat you can Fascinate in combat now with a critical success (awesome!) but because the feat gets "incapacitation" trait. Which means they have to be your level or lower?
If a spell has the incapacitation trait, any
creature of more than twice the spell’s level treats the result
of their check to prevent being incapacitated as one degree of
success better or the result of any check the spellcaster made
to incapacitate them as one degree of success worse. If any
other effect has the incapacitation trait, a creature of higher
level than the item, creature, or hazard generating the effect
gains the same benefits.
I am thinking the "Critical Success" result on the check becomes a normal "Success" for higher level and then does not work in combat?
True? Think I interpreted this right
P.S Enjoying the changes as I prep for my first game of P2!!!

That seems correct. The majority of opponents should be at your level or below, so it's still pretty good.

I'm still a little confused on this Trait. It states that "..any creature of more than twice the spell's level..."
Since Fascinating Performance is a "Feat" and the Trait is applied to the Perform "Action," what is the "Spell Level"?
Also, it compares it to the Will "DC" of the observer. Is that the Will Sav modifier or some other DC calculation?

From the above post:
If any
other effect has the incapacitation trait, a creature of higher
level than the item, creature, or hazard generating the effect
gains the same benefits.
The will save DC is the will save bonus+10.

"If any other effect has the incapacitation trait, a creature of higher
level than the item, creature, or hazard generating the effect
gains the same benefits."Yes, I see that, but I don't understand what that means either.
It means whoever is performing, aka the creature described above since they are generating the effect.
This is interesting because spells actually get a little breathing room with twice spell level (effectively giving them CR+1 still inside normal range when you first gain the spell and every other level after if heightened) but non spell effects have a harder line (Stunning Fist and Fascinating Performance)

The upside for non-spells is they don't need to be heightened though, which is part of why Stunning Fist rocks.
