Class Features
The following are class features of the Hope Singer
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Hope Singers gain proficiency with Rapiers and Short Swords, they do not gain any armor proficiency.
Spellcasting/Card use: At each level indicated above a Hope Singer gains new spells per day(and spells known if applicable). If they have any levels that grant Card Casting you gain +1 effective level in that class for purposes of Max card strength, and Cards gained through leveling.
Bardic Music: For each level gained in the Hope Singer prestige class your Bardic Music advances as if you had gained another level of Bard.
Inspire Hope(Su): A Hope Singer with 8 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use their performance to Inspire a feeling of great Hope in their allies. By expending one of their Bardic Music uses they grant their allies +xd6 temporary hit points(where x is the number on the above table), and +2 on all Will saving throws for the duration of their song.
Advanced Learning: Every third level the Hope Singer gains new spells to his/her spells list. This spell may be chosen from any of the following schools/sub schools/descriptors Conjuration[Healing], Divination, Illusion or Enchantment spell from the Bard Spell list, or the Cleric Spell list. If a spell appears on both spell lists use the higher of the two spell levels.
Soothing Voice(Su): A Hope Singer with 5 or more ranks in perform can use his Songs or Poetics to remove the effects of fear, so long as they have caster level higher than the Fear effects caster level. They receive +1 caster level for these purposes.
Simultaneous Song(Ex: When a Hope Singer reaches level 10 they gain the ability to play two of their Bardic Musics at once. Doing so requires a Concentration check equal to 15 plus the Bard level at which they gain the Bardic Music abilities they are combining.
Ex. Alan, a 10th level Hope Singer, chooses to Activate Inspire Courage and Inspire Hope using Simultaneous Song. This requires him to make a Concentration check DC 18, Bard 1 grants Inspire Courage and Hope Singer 2 grants Inspire Hope.
