lets say ive got a few levels in evangelist and then take a level dip into bard, how do the two sources of "bardic performance" interact?
the performance from evangelist isnt necessarily the bardic performance so do you end up with both abilities with separate pools of rounds per day? would this then allow you to have two performances going at once as they are technically different abilities?
or, would it simply stack together and count combined levels for the progression of the performances? and if this was the case would the evangelist then get the bardic performances that had been previously denied them?
Channel from Cleric and Paladin don't stack, but give separate pools so I would say that extends to this situation as well. You could only have two performances at once with Lingering Performance as you need to maintain a performance. As soon as you stop performing, the effects end.
right, but maintaining is a free action, so you could theoretically maintain them both.
and lingering performance would apply to them both.
I agree that Lingering would apply to both, but the rules say you can't have more than one Bardic Performance in effect at once.
ya, was mainly thinking that since they are different pools and and different abilities (sermonic performance) that you might be left with a little bit of wiggle room.
