What if I have say 8 levels but only 7 ranks in perform, what will his song be?

Also doesn't it advance beyond level 30?

Also can bard do something else while he is singing?
Bards are one of my favourite classes to play. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The Bard's song level depends on then number of Bard levels she/he has (not just character levels) and her/his adjusted ranks in the Perform skill. The Perform skill can be modified by: ranks taken at level up time, items (Gloves of the Minstrel, etc.), feats like (Epic) Skill Focus- Perform, and modified Charisma bonuses.

You need both the Bard levels and the Perform ranks to get the best bard song. An 8th level bard with only 7 ranks in Perform can only do a second level bard song. A level one Bard with Epic Gloves of the Minstrel (+30 Perform) still can only do a level one bard song.

The Bard song does not advance beyond level 30 but you will find getting your Perform ranks to 100 is enough of a challenge.

Once the song has started, the bard can do other actions.
