Can a half-orc Skald take Amplified Rage? While there's no text in the Skald's write-up stating that Raging Song counts as Rage, there are sections of the ACG text that seem to imply that it should have.

Has there been any clarification made as to what does or does not constitute an "ability that requires patience or concentration"? Would Aid Another be allowed during rage? How about Bardic Performance, Swashbuckler Deeds, Cavalier Challenges, or a Battle Herald's Inspiring Command?


Raging Song and, by extension, Inspire Rage are Performances, but they are not actually the Rage class feature. I would assume that your reference to implying that it is refers to this:

Quote:
If an ally has her own rage class ability (such as barbarian's rage, bloodrager's bloodrage, or skald's inspired rage)

If you're playing a home game, talk with your GM about this. If you're playing in PFS, assume that Amplified Rage is not a valid feat choice or expect table variation.

For the second question, that's firmly in ETV territory, as well. It will likely relate to the action in question. From what I see in the FAQs, there is no clarification about that particular clause, which is probably by design. I would expect that the developers wanted to leave that open to GM interpretation as the situations demands.


As of now I'm not sure. It doesn't say it counts like rage for stuff so that's saying it doesn't. But then it also says in their inspire rage that if an ally has a rage ability that they can use those numbers instead, and it lists inspired rage. So that leads me to think it can.

Nothing has been clarified as far as I know. Challenges should be fine, deeds should be fine, bardic performance is iffy,


Well maybe I'll make the partner to my Battle Herald a Spell Warrior then and avoid the issue entirely. But that then leads to a different question:

How do Rage Powers work for a Spell Warrior?


They are given to anyone benefiting from the spellblade song.

can you explain to me how you come to that conclusion? I am rather stumped on this one as well.


Linky I know it works this way because we have been giving a preview of the errata that's going to happen.


I can see how the devs saying it would lead you to say it's true.
