Shadowbard

Description

shadowy duplicate starts a bardic performance.

school illusion (shadow) [shadow]; level bard 5 you conjure up a quasi-real phantom singer that is visible as a shifting, shadowy duplicate of yourself. the singer follows you automatically, moving as you move even if you teleport. the singer cannot be damaged, but can be dispelled. when a shadowbard comes into being, it immediately begins a bardic performance of your choice—it has access to all of the bardic performances that you do. it continues that bardic performance until you direct it as a move action to switch to a different performance. rounds spent by a shadowbard creating a bardic performance do not decrease the number of rounds you can use your own bardic performance, nor can a shadowbard's bardic performance be used to trigger spells that require you to begin or cease a bardic performance.
