All Changes to Bard in Pathfinder 2e's Remaster

[@ExWels]

Martial Performance is basically an alternative to Lingering Performance with a fixed 1 round extension. It can only extend the duration of an individual cantrip casting once in the same way you can only extend the duration of a cantrip once with Lingering Performance.

[@richardsuplee8137]

I feel like they changed all "inspiring" feats due to inspire being a dnd thing. Also if they change inspire courage they might as well chabge the other spells as the nane theming is gone and it feels like the new theme is tonuse musical terms

[@Veldril]

Song of Marching gives a +1 status bonus to initiative roll while scouting gives a +1 circumstance bonus. So both of them stack with each other.

[@theebadluckgamer]

I belive you are right so even better

[@hammerspace8866]

Do note that the bard and the party will be immune to the song for a day after use. So it's a once per day bonus. It's still a nice bonus, but I'm not sure if I want to spend a class feat on it.Unless travel times really are an important thing in the campaign.

[@LightningRaven42]

The Witch time-gated immunity was actually for the very likely instances where the enemy made their saves. You can now retry in the next round, which is pretty great. Also, lowkey major buff was Evil Eye, now you don't need to sustain the spell most of the time, because enemies need to spend at least 1 action to remove sickened. That's HUGE. You fire it and the enemy has chance to spend at least one action removing the penalty. You will only sustain it on enemies that were very likely to save in the first place (Bosses and High Fortitude Creatures).

[@lincr.1988]

Indeed! You can also keep trying (if you want to) to fish for a crit failure, which is awesome. One thing I didn't get is the damaging ones, if if damages only once or if it damages every time you sustain the spell

[@DargorV]

Your work around the remaster is very appreciated man thank you very much!

[@DargorV]

Personally I homebrewed Counter Performance into "Dance Fight!": The triggering enemy is compelled to bust-a-move! You both make a Performance check, highest one wins, simple as that and it never fails to bring smiles to the table xD

[@ryanhughes3569]

Good video, the bard changes seem minor for the most part (save for Warrior muse getting some MUCH needed love, and dropping Inspire Defense from a Maestro exclusive is honestly pretty big, encourages people to not feel toooo heavily inclined to only ever pick Maestro, which is nice.) Also, as for the name changes. Although a lot of the names that have recieved changes weren't 'specifically' names that looped back to 5E D&D (pretty much only Inspire Courage), these names of skills and performances for bard (Inspire Courage, Inspire Competence, Inspire Heroics, Well Versed, etc...) were carry-overs from PF1E, which in turn were carry-overs from D&D 3.5, which they were continuing to use it because it was all content that was allowed via the OGL. So tl;dr, yes these names were changing because they were OGL related content, even though most of them weren't strictly things that applied to D&D 5E, they were still floating around in the OGL sphere of content. That and like other people have already pointed out, it was also a matter of them wanting to change the vibe of some classes a bit to fit a different flavourful thematic.

[@HenshinFanatic]

Inspire Competence was in 3.X/PF1E.

[@eduardoarancibia169]

The problem with Song of Marching is that its on the same level than Dirge of Doom...

[@level20art50]

Dear God that new Martial Performance is so good. Imagine coupling that with an Inspire Heroics (or whatever that metamagic is called now). The one that allows you to make a performance check and, depending on your result, up to a +3, this allows you to, for two rounds, be Fighter accurate as a bard. And put your whole team up to Fighter +1 accuracy. For one Focus point.

[@buttermilkbiscut5477]

Great video dude! Straight to the point!!

[@GuitarGuyNick]

its counter charm in 5e

[@theebadluckgamer]

Ah fair

[@FirstLast-wk3kc]

Counter performance in dnd 5 e is called Countercharm. So it's different name

[@christophertherians2243]

Fortissimo in Italian means "strongest". Also, it is a term used in opera singing.

[@lockepersonal]

Interestingly Emotional Push doesn't specify "your spell" so it might be good as an archetype purchase for a rogue if he's in a party with only casters

[@theebadluckgamer]

That's a very good point

[@thatoneguy1477]

Ive been waiting hoping for the return of the dervish dancer and its tornado of attacks. A more martial focus bard would be a dream come true! Also, thanks for all the content... You rock, keep it up

[@alfredobelloni3258]

I think Warrior bard should have medium armor prof from the start. So that you can also spec in STR from the start and actually make use of the martial weapons. Having a chance to extend inspire courage by attacking may not be that great, considering the minimal damage output, and the chance to fail. You would be better off just casting every turn.

[@dragonhydeknight]

I think performance replaced song for bard

[@sparklingwater925]

It's pretty obvious some of the name changes are so that they better align withe class evocatively.

[@undrhil]

Yes please do a video on the dining rules

[@JohahnDiechter]

Maestro is two syllables, my dude.

[@robinbernardinis]

No it isn't, my dude. It isn't MAY-stroh, it's ma-EH-stroh.

[@JohahnDiechter]

@@robinbernardinis According to both Merriam-webster dictionary and Oxford English Dictionary, maestro is a two syllable word.

[@robinbernardinis]

@@JohahnDiechter I don't care what the dictionaries say, I'm always going to defend a pronunciation that more accurately reflects a word's etymology. That said, now I know that this instance of the Italian language being butchered is officially sponsored by English dictionaries, so I won't take it personally when someone says my-STROH.

[@JohahnDiechter]

@@robinbernardinis Fine, but that is not how English works.

[@robinbernardinis]

@@JohahnDiechter Well, English dictionaries are descriptivist, not prescriptivist. If I convince enough people to pronounce it how Italians do, I can make it the correct pronunciation.
