Question about the wit bard archetype

[primevalivy]

The wit bard archetype gets cutting remark at 3rd level.

At 3rd level, a wit can wound with his words. The wit can spend 1 round of bardic performance as a standard action to deal 1d4 points of nonlethal damage + the wit’s bard level to a creature within 30 feet. Damage Reduction applies to this damage.

Since it uses performance rounds and is a standard action, does that mean cutting remark can be used as a move once you hit 7th level?

Thanks.

Nope, it specifically says you use it as a standard action.

Does that mean it wouldn’t interrupt other performances then? If it isn’t a performance for the purpose of “starting a performance” as a move action then could you maintain inspire courage while still using cutting remark?

[Trinam]

Yep. You’re not actually starting or using a performance, you’re just burning 1 round of it to do the thing.

Thanks.
