Can a bard use versatile performance (act, comedy, sing or string) as a substitute for bluff in the bardic masterpiece Pageant of the Peacock?


I was looking at the Speaker of the Palatine Eye archetype for the Bard. It offers you mesermist spells in place of bard, and psychic in place of arcane.

Is it worth it? What would it be good at compared to an ordinary bard? What would you miss if you traded in your bard spells?

If i dont go Speaker of the Palatine Eye, are the Stonesinger or Studious Librarian archetypes any good for a casting focused bard?

Im planning on high charisma as my main stat and relying on spells a lot, so id like to know ive made a good choice.


When using the Usurp Spell ability of the haunted spiritualist to drain the spell energy of the "transformation" spell:

How do material components work? Does Usurp spell need components and if so does the phantom need to have the components?

Is the character level refering to the phantoms level as it matches with the spiritualist level on the phantom progression table, the spiritualist's character level, the spiritualist's caster level or the phantom's hit die when determining the BAB granted by the spell?


How can I avoid suffering from nauseated when using Usurp Manifestation?

I dont want to multiclass, which rules out barbarian and their rage power that makes the character immune to nauseated. The best I can find is the pestilence bloodline from a very early pathfinder product (gained through eldritch heritage) but that seems like a big investment too.

Is there anything you can come up with to avoid having the spiritualist being useless during Usurp Manifestation?
