Is the Skald able to use the Perform skill, when under the effects of Raging Song?
Relevant text:
While under the effects of raging song, allies cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration.
You count as your own ally. Perform is a charisma based skill.
So, am I missing something?
No he can't use the Perform skill, it's a Charisma based skill.
You do not count yourself as an ally. Allies are other people. You are you.
Ally: Do you count as your own ally?
You count as your own ally unless otherwise stated or if doing so would make no sense or be impossible. Thus, "your allies" almost always means the same as "you and your allies."

I swear there was a Developer comment on this.
I pretty sure the pre-revised version had a note about the Skald himself being an exception.
I mean, the "Raging Song (Su): A skald is trained to use the Perform
skill to inspire allies (including himself, if so desired) to
feats of strength and ferocity." part in the beginning at least suggests otherwise.
Correct he coyld not use the perform skill but most performances don't require it so it won't matter moat of the time.

From the Advanced Class Guide Playtest,
- The Skald -can- still cast spells and use skills while using Raging song. The text that exempted the skald from the restrictions was dropped accidentally, but should be there.

It was accidentally omitted from the 2nd playtest document.
I accidentally got rid of my 1st playtest document so if you have that it'll be an easier time.
