thanks for the answers.
I would like to add some informations in order to know when it reasonable to use fascinate.
4 potential enemies and I can fascinate 3 (level 8) using oratory as the mean to fascinate. is the fourth gay aware of what I'm doing? if you think the answer is yes, could I try to use bluff to hide my intentions?
In my point of view a performance is still a performance...for example a guy who speak or dance so magically well that you can't stop looking or listening at him.

thanks

Hello,

I'm playing a bard and I don't know if the group is interpreting the rules in the good way.
The problem is that for the DM if I fail fascinating someone he automatically take my action as hostile and either he attacks either he ends the fascination of those who failed the will save (holding a weapon).
For me a bardic performance is a trick that can be hide or is not obvious (the performance fail to fascinate or keep the attention of the audience).
Is there any rule that support one or the other interpretation?
I'm not talking of using fascinate in a combat situation, but with guard, in a bar or on a discussion before a battle.

thanks for your comments.
