Hello everyone, first post here and English is not my first language, so sorry in advance for any mistakes!
Some friends and I are having a discussion on "How exactly does this ability work?".
The ability states:
"By spending 10 minutes preparing an elaborate tea ceremony, a geisha may affect her allies with inspire courage, inspire competence, inspire greatness, or inspire heroics. The ceremony’s effects last 10 minutes. The geisha must spend 4 rounds of bardic performance for each creature to be affected."
Questions:
1) Does it mean that as you gain each of the bardic performances by leveling up, you also gain the "tea version" of that bardic performance, or that you immediately have the "tea version" of each named bardic performance at level 1, and then you gain the normal version at the appropriate level?
(I stand for the first version, but as it's not specified, doubts arose.)
2) The 10 minutes of the effects start at the end of the previous 10 minutes needed to do the ceremony and drinking the tea?
3) What does the last phrase stand for?
That you spend 4 rounds for EACH creature taking part in the ceremony (number limited only by how many Bardic Performance rounds you still have) OR that you spend 4 rounds for activating this ability "in general" and that it affects the normal amount of people as for the normal Bardic Performance of that Bard level?
Thanks in advance for any clarification!
