Can MARTYR use Lingering Performance?


Rules Questions


When I check one of my PC's Character I found that she used martyr, a paladin's archetype, and she choosed Lingering Performance.But Lingering Performance have a Prerequisite that you must have Bardic Performance.So I think it wouldn't work.Because there didin't said it work like Bardic Performance or some thing.But she said "duplicating" mean the same as so is legal to used it.Duplicating is not so clear like "work like" or "as" and Ididn't found some rule about that.

Stigmata: As a standard action, the martyr can chant hymns of faith and cause bleeding stigmata to visibly appear on his body; at 7th level, he can manifest stigmata as a move action, and at 13th level, he can do so as a swift action. He can use this ability a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + his Charisma modifier at 1st level, plus 1 ad ditional round per day for each level beyond 1st. While his stigmata are active, he takes 1 point of bleed damage, which automatically ceases when he ends this ability but otherwise does not relent, even in the face of magical healing or Heal checks. His stigmata assist his allies, duplicating the effect of the countersong, distraction, or inspire courage bardic performance of a bard of his paladin level, though both countersong and distraction use Heal skill checks instead of Perform skill checks. At 10th level, he can choose to duplicate the effects of inspire greatness. At 16th level, he can choose to duplicate the effects of inspire heroics.


Depends on how convincing you find SKR.

Life oracle wrote "You can channel positive energy like a cleric" ,but here just said " duplicating the effect of the countersong,distraction, or inspire courage bardic performance of a bard of his paladin level"

So... as my opinion,it is not the same.


By RAW no, it only duplicates the effects of bardic performance, it does not count as it.

Now as a GM it might be reasonable to say yes, and let the player take it.


No, it seems they very specifically didn't want it working with anything since they went out of their way not to mention it working as bardic performance like all other archetypes do.


I agree. Lingering performance seems to extend bardic performance using perform skills. This duplicates the effects but uses the heal skill. But it does goes really out of the way to say it's not performance.
