Any (other) ways to get Versatile Performance?

[GureiKun]

I know you can get it as a level 2 bard... But i'd just like to pick up one versatile performance (VP) without sacraficing too much. Basically my character loves himself some flute action for RP reasons, and it'd be cool to actually invest some skill points in it... but i'd be even better if i could have diplo and handle animal thrown in too.

Would work doubly well from an RP perspective since he has an obsession with the fey so playing the flute to animals/fey creatures to lul them? pure win!

Also he's best buds with the party bard so a few points in it would allow me to aid another and beef up the gold earning potential a little (not to mention even better role play since their friendship is founded on music).

So are their any archetypes or feats or PRCs that'd let me pick up VP without going 2 levels into somthing? If there's other stuff gained in a dip i'd consider dipping a level to get this.

thanks all

Only way I can find is 2 levels of Bard or 2 levels of Skald.

Since you have a bard in the party, a skald might be better just so you do not over lap each other too much.

Variant Multiclassing allows you to pick up one Perform skill to work as the Versatile Performance feature, though unfortunately this will not be done until 11th level. It will also cost you 5 feats to do so.

I personally don't think it's worth spending 5 feats on that, but it's the only other option besides a 2 level dip. And that's assuming you're allowed Unchained rules.

Ach well, thought it was worth asking incase there was somthing i'd overlooked :).

I think there is another way. Something deity-specific in the Inner Sea Gods book or something, Deific Obedience feat for Shelyn maybe?

I don't really know how that feat works or anything if that is it. There's something to do with the evangelist prestige class I know, but other than that.
