General Rules: Bardic Performance Effects - Range Inhibitor

Range Inhibitor (adapted from Path of Magic)

• Affinity: Bardic Chanting.


• Cost: One spell slot equal to the level of the targeted spell.


• Perform DC: 10 + the targeted caster's effective level + the level of the targeted spell.


• Effect: When this effect is successfully performed, the target spell's range is reduced by one range category, as shown on the table below. If you exceed the DC by 10 or more, the range decreases by an additional range category.
  
  

  Range Inhibitor Table
  Spell Range	Inhibitor Range	Critical Success Range
  Close	Touch	Touch
  Medium	Close	Touch
  Long	Medium	Close
  Unlimited	Long	Medium
  Range in Feet	-¼	-½

  
  
  A spell's range may never be reduced to less than Touch and the caster of the spell is aware of the alteration to its range and may choose to release the spell rather than continue casting it if the range reduction is too great. If the targeted caster chooses to release the spell, they lose the prepared spell or spell slot.


• Miscast: On a miscast there is no effect, positive or negative, on the targeted spell.
