Would harmonic sage and lingering performance stack?


Rules Questions


Lingering performance lets a bardic performance's effects last two rounds after one ceases performing because "the effects of your bardic performance carry on, even after you have stopped performing". Harmonic Sage (with a knowledge (engineering) DC 15 check within an artificial structure) lets a bardic performance's effects last one round after a bard ceases performing, due to "Reverberation".

So if a bard has both feats and ceases a bardic performance after having made the knowledge check while in the artificial structure, would the effects of the bardic performance last three rounds afterwards, or two?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

While I would be inclined to say "sure why not" (and in fact typed that out before re checking) I would have to say no.

Both feats take place once basic performance ceases. One allows the performance to continue for a round after ceasing the other allows the bonuses and penalties to continue (and as such would not affect some songs).

By strict RAW no. They both start when the song ceases. Almost any GM I know (myself included) would say that for a 2 feat investment and the fact you'd have to roll AND has to be indoors... "sure why not" comes back around.


Thanks!
