The following is cut and pasted from the pfsrd, and my concern relates to the bracketed areas at the end of each paragraph: "Starting a violent performance is an attack action, but it can be maintained each round as a free action. To start a violent performance, a bard must declare the effect at the beginning of her turn. She must then successfully attack an opponent with her bardic weapon. For the purpose of this attack, the bard’s base attack bonus is equal to her bard level. Any other attacks made the same round use the bard’s regular base attack bonus. Upon a successful hit, this attack deals no damage but begins the effect immediately. [ The effect continues as long as the bard successfully attacks an opponent at least once a round. ] "Changing a violent performance from one effect to another requires the bard to stop the previous performance and start a new one as an attack action. A violent performance cannot be disrupted, but it ends immediately if the bard is killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, [ or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. ] A bard cannot have more than one violent performance in effect at one time." Am I wrong in reading that the two do not exactly coincide with each other? If I am, please enlighten me. Thank you. |
