Bardic Music

[LordOfCain]

Can a rogue 5 with 8 ranks in perform (oratory) dip a level of bard and use suggestion assuming he increased his ranks in perform to 9 with his bard skill ranks?

[Daefos]

A bard of 6th level or higher with 9 or more ranks in a Perform skill can make a suggestion (as the spell) to a creature that he has already fascinated. Using this ability does not break the bard’s concentration on the fascinate effect, nor does it allow a second saving throw against the fascinate effect.

Afraid not.
