Aasimar favored class bonus for Bards; is it + 1 / 2 or 1 / 6?


Rules Questions


Looking at my favorite rules web sites I see that the Aasimar gets a plus 1/6th FCB for a Bardic performance. Searching through Bard questions I noticed different posters referencing a + 1/2 bonus on these Paizo boards. My GM is encouraging Bard builds, and if Pathfinder published a more generous +1/2 earlier and changed it would consider giving that to us.

I don't have access to the books and might not for some time. Can someone please clear this issue up for me please?


It was changed from 1/2 to 1/6 recently.

Silver Crusade

It was errated to 1/6 from 1/2. This change happened around 3 months ago.

As for bards you only really need one in a group. More then that can really hurt a party. As most of their ability's don't help other bards as much as they help other classes.


Thanks guys- that clears that up! I thought it was something like that and it's great to know for sure.

I love the mavens who help with the lore of this game.
