You conjure up a quasi-real phantom singer that is visible as a shifting, shadowy duplicate of yourself. The singer follows you automatically, moving as you move even if you teleport. The singer cannot be damaged, but can be dispelled. When a shadowbard comes into being, it immediately begins a bardic performance of your choice—it has access to all of the bardic performances that you do. It continues that bardic performance until you direct it as a move action to switch to a different performance. Rounds spent by a shadowbard creating a bardic performance do not decrease the number of rounds you can use your own bardic performance, nor can a shadowbard’s bardic performance be used to trigger spells that require you to begin or cease a bardic performance.
Above is the Shadowbard spell.
I have searched for questions on the Shadowbard spell and they are few. I think it must be well understood so what I am going to ask may sound stupid, but not from my perspective.Can the Shadowbard spell use feats that the Bard has?
My character has Master Performer and Grand Master Performer. The way I am reading the spell, it says it creates a "duplicate" of yourself. So I thought that included said feats.
On the other hand, I can easily read it the other way that the phantom singer is just an illusionary double and the only interaction is the level of the spell.
Per RAW, no, because you have those feats, whereas your spell effect does not.
And since you mentioned the Performer feats, I presume this is PFS, so it'd be safer to expect a GM to rule no than yes. Of course, home games don't usually have (or allow) these feats, and personally, it's for good reason.
Thanks.
I kind of figured that but I wanted to be sure.
Home game. I was lucky when he let me keep the first feat.
