Bardic Performance, Raging Song, and making them both last longer with the same Feats


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

I'm rebuilding my first PFS character, but this time with actual PFS experience instead of just reading the books.

Now the Skald's playlist is way different than the Bard's, which brings in the idea of dipping in the other class for their songs.

Raging Song explicitly states "A raging song counts as the bard's bardic performance special ability for any effect that affects bardic performances." This

The question is, will Extra Performance and Lingering Performance affect BOTH, allowing me to double-dip the Feats?

If so, the Lingering Performance would make my 7 Rounds of Bardic Performance into 21, which is more than enough, especially since the Raging Song is a separate ability with it's own pool that also would get tripled.

Update:

I discovered Extra Performance would give a pool of 6 Rounds. This is because that is how Extra Channel works with multiple Classes from the CRB FAQ.

There is still the question on if Lingering Performance would affect both Bardic Performance and Raging Song.

This is because instead adding more uses of the ability, it makes the ability last 2 Rounds after you stop using it (which is actually more benefit than Extra Performance gives anyway).


I would rule it does affect both. It's not adding anything to a pool, its modifying the time in which they work, and since one qualifies as the other, and the feat affects the one, then yes, it would affect both.
