Question about the Bard Archetype Dawnflower Dervish –
Battle Dance
A Dawnflower dervish is trained in the use of the Perform skill, especially dance, to create magical effects on himself. This works like bardic performance, except that the Dawnflower dervish’s performances grant double their normal bonuses, but these bonuses only affect him. He does not need to be able to see or hear his own performance. Battle dancing is treated as bardic performance for the purposes of feats, abilities, and effects that affect bardic performance, except that battle dancing does not benefit from the Lingering Performance feat or any other ability that allows a bardic performance to grant bonuses after it has ended. The benefits of battle dancing apply only when the bard is wearing light or no armor. Like bardic performance, battle dancing cannot be maintained at the same time as other performance abilities.
Now when the Dawnflower Dervish uses Battle Dance to Inspire Courage during combat, I’m assuming this line –
Dawnflower dervish’s performances grant double their normal bonuses, but these bonuses only affect him.
I’m assuming this means that at 1st level the dance gives him (and only him) a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +2 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.
Is this correct?
Does the Competence Bonus work on spells that you have to roll to hit and roll damage?
