Recorder of Bards
This magical disc can be affected by the bardic music ability when held aloft whenever a bard uses his or her abilities; the user gains the normal benefit of the effect. The effect is then stored within the recorder, much like a spell can be kept in a pearl of power. Within a week, a user may hold the disc up to their ear and replay several (at least one) of the bardic effects, which last for 1d8 rounds. Each stored effect can be used once, and is then released from the disc. Any required Perform checks are rolled like the bard was making the check at the time the effect was recorded.
A recorder of bards may only hold a certain amount of bardic effects, as per its price. Once full, it can no longer be used to hold any more effects until others are used. Two models are available. The first lets the user pick the effect directly, getting full knowledge of each of the effects the disc holds. This is the more expensive device. The other picks the effect at random.
Moderate transmutation; CL 10th; Craft Wondrous Item, creator must expend one bardic music use per effect the item can hold; Price 1,000 gp (1), 4,000 gp (2), 9,000 gp (3), 16,000 gp (4), 25,000 gp (5), 36,000 gp (6), 49,000 gp (7), 64,000 gp (8), or 81,000 gp (9). Double the price for the model that lets the user know the contents of the disc.
