Abilities
--------------------
Bardic Knowledge (Ex) Xavien gains a bonus on all Knowledge checks equal to half his level, and can use Knowledge skills untrained.
Raging Song (Su) Xavien's thunderous baritone can inspire his friends to accomplish great feats. This takes the form of specific performances, such as Inspired Rage. Xavien can offer a Raging Song a number of rounds per day equal to 1 plus his Charisma modifier plus 2 per level. Xavien can begin a raging song as a standard action and maintain it as a free action. His allies must be able to hear him to gain the song's benefits, and each ally chooses whether to accept the song's effects at the beginning of their turn.
Song of Marching (Su) Xavien can encourage soldiers to march on when their legs would give up in protest. He can expend 1 round of raging song to encourage his allies to hustle for 1 hour, and this movement only counts as walking for the purposes of fatigue and nonlethal damage.
Song of Strength (Su) Xavien's song can inspire superhuman feats of strength. Allies within 60 feet who can hear the song can add a bonus equal to half Xavien's level to Strength checks or Strength-based skill checks.
Inspired Rage (Su) Xavien can inspire allies gain a +2 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution and a +2 morale bonus on Will saving throws, but also take a –1 penalty to AC. While under the effects of inspired rage, allies other than the skald cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration.
Reckless Abandon (Ex) Xavien has learned to improve his accuracy at the expense of his safety. He may choose to gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls in exchange for a -2 penalty to AC.
Guarded Life (Ex) Whenever reduced below 0 HP while raging, 1 HP/level of damage is immediately converted to nonlethal damage. If Xavien is at negative HP due to lethal damage, he immediately stabilizes.
Skald's Vigor (Ex) Xavien's love of battle gives him life. Whenever he sings an Inspired Rage song, he gains Fast Healing equal to the Str bonus.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex) Xavien is difficult to surprise. He cannot be caught flat-footed.
Power Attack (Ex) Xavien knows when to make his swings count. He may choose to gain a +2 bonus on damage rolls in exchange for a -1 penalty to attack rolls.
Young Reformer (Ex) Once per day, Xavien can call upon his coconspirators to have “made arrangements” on his behalf, allowing him to attempt a Knowledge (local) check in place of a single Bluff, Disable Device, Intimidate, or Sleight of Hand check. The DC of this Knowledge (local) check is equal to the DC of the skill check it replaces. Whatever arrangements he makes—for doors left unlocked, guards strong-armed out of your way, stolen keys left to find—must be reasonable to have anticipated and achieved beforehand; he could arrange to have a noble convinced he is a very important diplomat traveling in disguise, for example, but if a fight breaks out he could not rely on his network of contacts to feint for him in combat. You do not have to use this ability in advance; you can announce its use as you encounter a challenge, implying you foresaw this challenge and made arrangements prior to your arrival.
Watcher of the Weave (Ex) Well-trained in storytelling, Xavien can often predict what might happen next. He gains an insight bonus on initiative checks equal to 1/2 his skald level.
Spell Kenning (Far Seer) (Su) Xavien is a consummate imitator. Once per day, he may cast any spell from the bard, cleric, or sorcerer/wizard spell list using one of his own spell slots of the same level. For this purpose, any spell that attempts to divine the future (augury, divination) is treated as one spell level lower, and any spell that deals damage is treated as one spell level higher.
