Manipulator Bard

A manipulator bard is more focused on manipulating other more than cheering on the sideline.

Class: Bard

Level: 1st-20th

Replaces: Spellcasting, Bardic Knowledge, Fascinate, Versatile Performance, Suggestion, Mass Suggestion.

Benefit: A manipulator bard gain the following class features:

Cunning Soul (Ex): At 1st level manipulator bard may base all of her bard class features on her Intelligence instead of her Charisma.

Manipulator’s Performance (Su) and (Sp): A manipulator bard’s fascinate bard performance continues for 1 minute for each round of bardic performance used. Additionally the DC of her fascinate, suggestion and mass suggestion performance increases by 1.

A manipulator bard gains its suggestion bardic performance at 4th level instead of 6th.

A manipulator bard gains its mass suggestion bardic performance at 12th level instead of 18th.

This ability alters fascination, suggestion and mass suggestion.

Mastermind (Ex): A manipulator bard adds half of her class level as a bonus on bluff, diplomacy, knowledge (local), knowledge (nobility) and Sense Motive.

This ability replaces bardic knowledge.

Sneak Attack (Ex): A 1st level manipulator bard gain sneak attack +1d6 as a rogue. At 3rd level and each three levels thereafter, the manipulator bard gains another dice of sneak attack.

This ability replaces spellcasting

Mastermind Talent (Ex): At 2nd level, 6th level and each four levels thereafter, the manipulator bard may select a social talent as a vigilante or a rogue talent as a rogue. For the purpose of vigilante social talents, a manipulator bard does not have a vigilante identity and is always considered to be in her social identity.

This ability replaces versatile performance.
