Perform Anything Because of a bards wide musical training from second level she is treated as having a rank in “Perform_Anything” for each full five ranks she has in a specific perform skill. “Perform_Anything” is a specific class feature and cannot have additional ranks placed into it during levelling up or character creation.
Art of The Duel A Bards study of arts, skills and curiosities which interest them even extend to the arts of swordplay, archery and other more esoteric weaponry disciplines. A Bard selects a favoured weapon at level 2 with which they gain a +1 to hit. This bonus increases occasionally at later levels (5th,10th,16th,19th)
Hardiness of the Wanderer A Bards Fortitude save increases by +1 due to his hard life on the road and martial training toning and testing his body. This bonus increases to +2 at 11th level.
Bonus Feat A Bard may occasionally select a bonus feat (at 7th,13th and17th levels) in exactly the same manner as a Wizard, representing his broad arcane, divine and martial training paying off. He may select this feat from either the Skills, Magic or Magic Item Creation lists.
Sneak Attack A Bard of 8th level has learned sufficient about the weaknesses of mundane creatures and those of myth and legend, combined with his knowledge of the martial arts to make a damaging sneak attack if he finds himself in a position to strike a vulnerable spot. This ability functions as the Rogue ability of the same name. This ability increases to 2d6 at level 16.
