Hi, everyone.
I've just discovered the existence of the magic item Tuned Bowstring, and it seems it would solve (for bow-using characters) the major issue with Archaeologist bard archetype: limited number of archaeologist's luck rounds per day. The Tuned Bowstring allows a character with the bardic performance class feature to maintain a performance in combat without expending rounds of bardic performance as long as she fires at least one arrow each round.
If I'm not mistaken, since archaeologist's luck "is treated as bardic performance for the purposes of feats, abilities, effects, and the like that affect bardic performance", a character wouldn't spend rounds of archaeologist's luck as long as she fires at least one arrow in that turn, right?
Or is it too good to be true?
Cool. That makes Lingering Performance less than mandatory for archer archaeologists, which is great considering how feat-intensive archery is!
