Tocast a sublime chord spell, a character must have a Charismascore of at least 10 + the spell’s level, so if she has a Charismaof 13 or lower, she cannot cast any sublime chord spells.Bonus spells are based on Charisma, and saving throwsagainst these spells have a DC of 10 + spell level + thesublime chord’s Cha modifier. A sublime chord can choosespells from the sorcerer/wizard spell list or the bard spelllist; if a spell appears on both lists at different levels, sheuses the bard version of the spell. A sublime chord’s casterlevel for both her sublime chord spells and the spells shegains from other arcane spellcasting classes is determinedby adding her sublime chord level to her level in anotherarcane spellcasting class. If she had more than one arcanespellcasting class before becoming a sublime chord, she mustchoose to which class to add her sublime chord levels for thepurpose of determining her sublime chord spellcaster level.A sublime chord prepares and casts spells just as a sorcererdoes, including the ability to replace a known sublime chordspell with a new spell at every even-numbered class levelbeginning at 4th.Bardic Knowledge: A sublime chord continues to collectthe odd bits of lore and knowledge that bards acquire.She can add her sublime chord class level to her bardicknowledge checks, so her bardic knowledge checks havea bonus equal to her bard level + her sublime chord level +her Int modifier.Bardic Music: A sublime chord expands her repertoire ofbardic music to encompass new songs or poetics of strangeand wondrous power. These effects function just as the bardicmusic effects described in the Player’s Handbook. Each use ofa sublime chord song expends one daily use of the character’sbardic music ability.A sublime chord adds one-half her class level (roundeddown) to her bard level to determine her number of dailyuses of bardic music.Song of Arcane Power (Su): A sublime chord of 2nd level orhigher with 12 or more ranks in a Perform skill learns howto use her bardic music to assist her spellcasting. As a moveaction, she can prepare to cast a spell by giving voice to thesong of power. The next spell she casts gains a bonus to itscaster level based on the result of the sublime chord’s Performcheck:Perform Check Result Caster Level Increase9 or lower +010 to 19 +120 to 29 +230 or higher +4The spell to be enhanced by the song of arcane power mustbe cast by the end of the sublime chord’s next turn, or elsethe song fades with no effect (other than consuming a bardicmusic use).Song of Timelessness (Su): A sublime chord of 6th level orhigher with 16 or more ranks in a Perform skill knows thesong of timelessness. As a standard action, she can envelopa single creature within 60 feet in a field of timelessness,provided she has line of effect to the target (see page 176 ofthe Player’s Handbook).
