General Rules: Bardic Performance Effects - Range Magnification

Range Magnification (adapted from Path of Magic)

• Affinity: Bardic Chanting.


• Cost: One spell slot no more than three levels lower than the affected spell.


• Perform DC: 20 (25 for touch spells, 30 for personal spells).


• Effect: If your Perform check exceeds the DC, your performance increases the range of a spell by one range category as noted in the table below. If your Perform check exceeds the DC by 10 points or more, the range increases by an additional range category.

  Spells with an initial range of touch and personal are the most difficult to magnify because they involve removing the magical essence from the caster and transferring it to another target. In these cases, bpth the target and the spellcaster must be within sight of the bard as well as within range of one another for the bard to be successfully transfer the spell.


• Miscast: On a miscast, the performance decreases the range of a spell by one category to a minimum range of personal. This has no other effect, positive or negative, on the spell being cast.
