Lingering Performance and Archaeologists Luck

Sovereign Court RPG Superstar 2009 Top 32, 2010 Top 8

Good morning,

I want to make sure I read this correctly, before I decide this feat is a "no brainer"

Archaeologist's luck states:Archaeologist's luck is treated as bardic performance for the purposes of feats, abilities, effects, and the like that affect bardic performance.

So lingering performance should work, right? Kind of makes it an automatic choice since the number of rounds doesn't increase by level, unlike bardic performance.

What are other good spells/feats to complement this luck bonus?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Yes, it works. Also yes, it is a no brainer. Flipping it on and off can be annoying if you also plan to use Arcane Strike, but it is a small price to pay for triple rounds.

As for complements, the most obvious is the trait "Fate's Favoured" (+1 to all luck bonuses). Also worth recommending is taking a race that can add performance rounds as a Favored Class bonus, so you can keep Luck running even more.

Finally, you might want to look at using the house rule proposed by the author of making it Cha + 1 round/level rather than 4 + Cha rounds, which brings it much more in line with other options.


Yes it is a no brainer and the rounds not increasing by level is not a good idea IMHO. I did not know about that suggested house rule. I think I will take it. :)


3rd thread I've put this on, IF you are not playing PFS and allow the faction guide, Master Performer (which requires the Extra Performance feat) and Grand Master Performer are better for a human, with Lingering Performance at 3rd level. Other than that, yes it is a no-brainer.

@Mort Ack, missed that trait. Took criminal (for the DD/class skill) and the Varasian tattoo (for the tattoo and ha'la'thal flavor I was going for with my Sczarni faction). Since I played him at Serenity, he's locked at 2nd level. Well, Lingering at 3rd and extra traits at 5th it is. :-)

@strayshift Well it is for PFS, but I'll remember that if I play an archeologist in a home game (I miss home games)
