So I was reading through the ACG, and I started reading the skald. I got to song of strength performance, and I had to ask this question: Do melee attacks and combat maneuvers count as strength checks or strength based skill checks?
At 6th level, a skald can use raging song to inspire his allies to superhuman feats of strength. Once each round while the skald uses this performance, allies within 60 feet who can hear the skald may add 1/2 the skald's level to a strength check or strength based skill check.
Obviously, it wouldn't work with weapons modified by weapon finesse, or combat maneuvers modified agile maneuvers, but would it work with it normally?
Making sure. Wanted to know if my allies could use it on one of their attacks. It would definetly have helped later with itirative attacks. Wouldn't want to misuse an ability.
