A seeker can use this ability inconjunction with the combine songs ability to start a secondsong and then maintain both as a standard action each round(as per the combine songs ability).Ex-Seekers of the SongLike a member of any other prestige class, a seeker of the songcan take levels in other classes after entering the seeker of thesong class, but seekers of the song face a special restriction.A seeker of the song who gains a level in any other class afterhaving gained his first seeker level can never again raise herseeker of the song level, though she retains the seeker abilitiesshe has already earned. The path of the seeker demandsconstant attention and devotion. If a character adopts thisprestige class, she must pursue it to the exclusion of allother careers. Once she has turned from the path, she cannever return.SAMPLE SEEKER OF THE SONGMaralea Duskwood: Female half-elf bard 10/seeker of thesong 2; CR 12; Medium humanoid (elf); HD 12d6+12; hp 56;Init +5; Spd 30 ft.; AC 19, touch 13, flat-footed 18; Base Atk+8; Grp +7; Atk +8 melee (1d6/18–20, +1 cold iron rapier) or +9ranged touch (wand); Full Atk +8/+3 melee (1d6/18–20, +1cold iron rapier) or +9 ranged touch (wand); SA seeker music(burning melody, song of unmaking); SQ bardic knowledge10, bardic music 12/day (countersong, fascinate, inspire competence,inspire courage +2, inspire greatness, suggestion),combine songs, half-elf traits, low-light vision, rapture of thesong; AL N; SV Fort +6, Ref +8, Will +12; Str 8, Dex 13, Con12, Int 10, Wis 14, Cha 20.Skills and Feats: Concentration +16, Diplomacy +22, GatherInformation +7, Knowledge (arcana) +13, Listen +18, Perform(sing) +23, Search +1, Spot +3, Use Magic Device +18; GreatFortitude, Improved Initiative, Point Blank Shot, PreciseShot, Skill Focus (Perform [sing]).Languages: Common, Elven.Seeker Music: Maralea can spend a daily use of bardicmusic to activate a special seeker music effect.
