From another thread which is way past the revive date:
You know what I've always wanted to see? A rule (not aid another) that allows perform checks to be made in tandem, to provide a synergy bonus for each person participating. So maybe you can have a bard singing, another strumming on the lute, and a shadow danver dancing, giving a sort of synergy bonus. The problem I've always encountered is where to draw the line, and how to deal with two good performers and one bad one. Maybe average their rolls and then add synergy?
If this is a hijack, let me know, Iames.
Easy. Houserule bardic music bonuses to be unnamed. Designate one bard as the primary guy. All the other bards count as inspiring competence one the primary guy. And if one bard fails his check, then he screwed up and didn't perform as well.
