"Changing a bardic performance from one effect to another requires the bard to stop the previous performance and start a new one as a standard action."
"Fascinate (Su): At 1st level, a bard can use his performance to cause one or more creatures to become fascinated with him.:
"Suggestion (Sp): A bard of 6th level or higher can use his performance to make a suggestion (as per the spell) to a creature that he has already fascinated (see above). Using this ability does not disrupt the fascinate effect, but it does require a standard action to activate (in addition to the free action to continue the fascinate effect)."
Both Fascinate and Suggestion are listed as Bardic Performances. RAI seems quite clear, but I was hoping for official clarification or at least strong group consensus. Is Suggestion used as part of the Fascinate performance, or is the "fascinate effect" distinct from the performance itself?
