Discordant Voice and virtuoso performance


Rules Questions


I have been trying to find out on the FAQ and through the pages to see if there is a consensus on this but I can seem to find one here, I was reading through the description of a feat I have again Discordant Voice, and it states:

Prerequisites: Bardic performance class feature, Perform (oratory or sing) 10 ranks.

Benefit: Whenever you are using bardic performance to create a spell-like or supernatural effect, allies within 30 feet of you deal an extra 1d6 points of sonic damage with successful weapon attacks. This damage stacks with other energy damage a weapon might deal. Projectile weapons bestow this extra damage on their ammunition, but the extra damage is dealt only if the projectile hits a target within 30 feet of you.

which by it self is pretty awesome for the damage of most the parties im in but then I saw
and I have the spell, virtuoso performance's that;s spells effect is:
While this spell is active, you may start a second bardic performance while maintaining another. Starting the second performance costs 2 rounds of bardic performance instead of 1. Maintaining both performances costs a total of 3 rounds of bardic performance for each round they are maintained. When this spell ends, one of the performances ends immediately (your choice).

Virtuoso performance does not stack with any other method of maintaining simultaneous bardic performances.

so I went looking to see if you did a spell-like AND supernatural effect with virtuoso performance would you be giving your party 2d6 sonic damage or just 1d6? or am just really off base. would really help if i could get some clarification about this, thanks in advance.


Did I miss something or is in the wrong board?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

It's probably that people don't know off hand and haven't spent the time to look into it.

Give me a bit and I'll see what I decide

Edit:
So I feel that you're capped at 1d6.
Is a performance up?
Yes: add 1d6
No: don't
Having two performances up doesn't change the condition.


I can see that, it was just the wording is one of those situation that could lead to people like me , questioning it due to the wording because technicall you do have two performances up at the same time. Maybe it is just me trying to come closer to not just being a semi OK buffer and good face.


Quick follow up question so if a bard singing 2 performances only counts for I proc of discordant voice, would 2 bards using both still only do a d6?


1d6 only. Same source won't stack.


Your follow up, I'd do 2d6 for two bards.


I agree with Cavall, only 1d6 for one bard with virtuoso performance (or shadow bard), but I'd say 2d6 for two bards as well. Sadly my GM in the campaign where I have a bard with a bard companion doesn't agree, so I don't get to play with double discordant voice :(


That is tragic because it discourages an all bard group and no one should be discouraged from that.


Roger that thanks guys for the answers worth a shot to ask lol
