Bard that juggles! Any rules and is this possible?

[DrkMagusX]

So far the only reference I found to a juggling bard is in the ARG under halflings using the juggle sticks. It states it applies for Perform comedy (pg 66). Are there any other rules are ideas of what can be done with juggling? What's the limit of weight and items? I thought about juggling something then have it fly out at someone while still juggling the rest of the items.

For added flair I was gonna cast light on juggled objects.

Is it possible to juggle the drum sticks and play the drums kinda of a slow beat that gets faster with more items. I have seen some one uses balls to perform in life.

Would like any input also to give ideas. Working on a animal speaker halfling bard with squirrel and makes big wooden acorns to juggle. Also might have profession nut saler.

The Sleight of Hand skill allows you to juggle. Depending on how many objects you use, and the difficulty in size and shape, that will probably determine your DC. Attempting to throw one of the juggled items while maintaining the act would probably involve another DC check, as well as an attack roll. I would say that your performance check (Comedy), would be for how well your audience likes your act.

Juggling itself your probably be its own perform skill, or a sleight of hand check. If you're using it in combat, it would just be attack rolls.

Keep in mind that you can only have one light spell in effect at one time.

You can also use Sleight of Hand to entertain an audience as though you were using the Perform skill. In such a case, your “act” encompasses elements of legerdemain, juggling, and the like.

It's odd that classic court jester tropes like juggling, magic tricks, and ventriloquism don't fall under the Perform skill. In 3.x days, I would have just made it a separate Perform, like Knowledge/Craft/Profession (other), but with Versatile Performance, it's harder to add to the list of performance types.

I took perform comedy cause of the halfling jugglesticks give a +2 to it when I use them. That's why I figured that juggling fell under that perform. I guess I will just use continual torch spell on the juggle sticks for added effect as its a perm duration. Trying to think of creative side to this animal speaker lol
