PFS: Mileage from Perform without Bard levels


Pathfinder Society


As the title says: is there some way to get decent benefits (beyond Day Job checks) from the perform skill in Society, without taking levels in Bard (or archetypes of other classes with bard class features)?

Context: I'm playing an (unchained) Summoner, and for backstory/flavor reasons I'm putting ranks in perform on both summoner and eidolon. I'd like to find a way to make those ranks more useful, obviously because wasting ranks is bad, but also because backstory doesn't really come up much in Society.

Ideally, I'd like this to be something feat based to allow the eidolon to take it as well, but I appreciate that may not be possible. Still I'd rather avoid multiclassing since I get the impression it's not great in Pathfinder and I expect it's even worse for summoners.

4/5 *

I have observed perform checks being called for to influence NPCs in certain PFS scenarios.
Flagging for the PFS forum where you may get replies that are more on point.

I know of several scenarios that call for perform checks and do not require Bardic Performance.

There is also the Liberties Edge trait Rousing Oratory that allows your performance to give a trait bonus versus fear effects.
