Scarborough Fair [Simon And Garfunkel]
Your song carries memories and sadness, reaching out to touch the hearts of allies and enemies alike.
Prerequisites: Bardic Music class feature, Perform 13 ranks
Benefits: You may expend a daily use of bardic music to sing Scarborough Fair, a song written by the ancient bards Simon and Garfunkel. This has the effect of a calm emotions spell cast over all those within 30 feet.
The Sound of Silence [Simon And Garfunkel]
You are familiar with darkness and silence, as were Simon and Garfunkel, and your songs incorporate them when need be.
Prerequisites: Bardic Music class feature, Perform 16 ranks, Subsonics
Benefits: When using bardic music, you may elect to produce a magical silence effect in a 30 foot radius. Your music is conveyed through shades and degrees of silence, and has the usual effects.
Patterns [Simon And Garfunkel]
The slightest shade or speckle contains information, and you have an intuitive grasp of it through your music, allowing you to glean information from the grand pattern first recognized by Simon and Garfunkel.
Prerequisites: Bardic Music class feature, Bardic Knowledge class feature, Perform 14 ranks
Benefits: When using your Bardic Knowledge ability, you may expend a daily use of bardic music and a full minute to gain a +10 enhancement bonus to the check. If you make a bardic knowledge check and meet DC 35, you gain the benefits of having cast legend lore to gather information about the subject as well as the normal results.
I'll think of more, or make feats from songs that you request.
And because I can, here's a Vestige, too.
Simon and Garfunkel (Vestige)
It is known that, in the distant past, magic was wild and raw, difficult to control, and on the whole limited to wizards (known in those ancient days as magic-users, as they were the only ones able to use magic) and a few splinter groups thereof. What is less well known is that even in those terrible years, bards still wielded the power of song. One thing, however is known only to a few, many of whom went mad with the knowledge: there were bards and songs even before the world. These bards did not call themselves such (as far as is known), but their purpose was the same, producing music to bring emotion to the world. One such pair of bards were known as Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, and their songs are still sung today for their power to reach into the soul and produce emotions of the strongest kind. When the world was formed, a part of their essence was captured by many of the powers known as Diems and their assistants, Pleyurs. Because their fame was to a large extent as a team, the Diems and Pleyurs captured them as a team, and it is possible to reach into that part of the void known as Poplar Kul-cher and tap into a fraction of their power.
{table]Vestige Level: 4th
Bind DC: 35
Special Requirements: No[/table]
Manifestation: The manifestation of Simon and Garfunkel is a calm one. Their seal echoes with soft music, calming the soul, and they slowly fade into view, singing their ancient songs.
Sign: A faint, but constantly audible, sound of music in the background around you, and a much more melodious voice than usual.
Influence: While under the influence of Simon and Garfunkel, all of your speech is sung instead of spoken, and you hum or sing their tunes aloud when unoccupied with combat.
Granted Abilities: Simon and Garfunkel give you the ability to procure emotional responses of all stripes by tapping into the subconscious with music.
Sadness: All enemies within 30 feet of you must make a Will save or hesitate, overwhelmed with grief, thereby taking a -4 to their initiative rolls. This is a mind-affecting ability.
Joy: All allies within earshot of you gain the benefit of an Inspire Courage effect produced by a bard of level equal to your Binder level. This is a mind-affecting ability.
Song: You gain a number of uses of bardic music equal to your binder level. You also gain up to three Simon and Garfunkel feats, and are treated as having a number of Perform ranks equal to your binder level for the purpose of qualifying for them. You may only use a use of bardic music once every five rounds.
