Bardic Knowledge (Ex)

A bard adds half his class level (minimum 1) to all Knowledge skill checks and may make all Knowledge skill checks untrained.

Bardic Performance

A bard is trained to use the Perform skill to create magical effects on those around him, including himself if desired. He can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + his Charisma modifier. At each level after 1st a bard can use bardic performance for 2 additional rounds per day. Each round, the bard can produce any one of the types of bardic performance that he has mastered, as indicated by his level.

Starting a bardic performance is a standard action, but it can be maintained each round as a free action. Changing a bardic performance from one effect to another requires the bard to stop the previous performance and start a new one as a standard action.

Background

Born to indentured servants in Galt, Melisandra was raised as a slave in all but name. She was a curious sort, with an agile mind and wandering hands, eyes, and feet that no amount of punishment could curtail. She and her parents escaped to the River Kingdoms when their employers house caught fire; miraculously, none of the servants happened to be home. A half-elven inquisitor of Milani helped the servants escape to the River Kingdoms; that taste of freedom put the bit in Mel's teeth, and now she runs, looking for a place where she can help create a safe haven, a land of opportunity for those who have none.
