Lingering Performance & Heroic Legends


Rules Questions


A Bard with Imperious Greater Eldritch Heritage gets the Heroic Legends ability

Heroic Legends (Su): At 15th level, you may inspire greatness or inspire heroics as a bard of your sorcerer level by sacrificing a spell slot as a swift or move action. The effect lasts a number of rounds equal to the sacrificed spell’s level; this duration is doubled for human recipients.

If the Bard also takes the Lingering Performance feat, does Heroic Legends get 2 extra rounds?

Benefit: The bonuses and penalties from your bardic performance continue for 2 rounds after you cease performing. Any other requirement, such as range or specific conditions, must still be met for the effect to continue. If you begin a new bardic performance during this time, the effects of the previous performance immediately cease.

You never start or stop performing when using the bloodline power Imperious, you spend a spell slot to get the effect.

As it is a Sorcerer bloodline power, you need to spend a sorcerer spell slot (class features refer to the class unless they explicitly say they don't), so I don't think a bard can activate it at all.


You also don't meet the requirements as you don't have the actual Bardic Performance class feature, just a way to duplicate 2 specific effects.

Lingering performance only affect bardic performances, heroic Legends are not a bardic performance it is a bloodline ability that duplicates it. Therefor lingering performance does nothing for the bloodline ability.
