Countersong

Prerequisite: Bardic Performance

Cost: 4 Points

You learn to counter supernatural effects that depend on sound. Countersong uses your rounds of Bardic Performance. Each round of Countersong, you make a Perform (keyboard, percussion, wind, string, sing or other sound based performance) check. Any ally within 30 feet of you (including yourself) that is under the influence of an effect with the auditory or lingual tag may use your Perform check result. Once the saving throw is rolled, if the Perform check result proves to be higher an ally can take your Perform check in place of the saving throw. If a creature within range of Countersong is already under the effect of a concentration based or permanent effect with the auditory or lingual tag, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears Countersong, but it must use your Perform skill check result for the save. Countersong does not work on effects that do not allow saves. Countersong relies on audible components and has the auditory tag.
