Bardic performance Question

Bardic performance days: "At each level after 1st a bard can use bardic performance for 2 additional rounds per day."

Does that have to be levels in the bard class or can i just take one level bard and then all the rest in another class?

Like bard1/ninja10?

When a class has a duration based on level it is always referring to class levels unless it specifically calls out "character levels".

I think what you mean is, "When a class has an [b]ability[/]b based on levels..." but yeah, any time a class ability calls out levels it ALWAYS refers to levels in that class unless it specifically says otherwise (such as Improved Uncanny Dodge) or if it specifically says "Character Levels" as opposed to just "levels."

Other examples are level pre-reqs for class abilities. A barbarian has to be eighth level, for example, before he can take Improved DR. That means eight barbarian levels, not Wizard 7/Barbarian 1.
