'''{{Anchor|AC Bonus}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A songblade's training is more than learning to evade and attack, it is replete with study of human psychology, common tactics, and anatomy, this knowledge manifests as a songblade knowing what his opponent will do before he knows he will do it himself. Therefore at 1st level a songblade applies his [[Intelligence]] modifier as an insight bonus to his AC as long as he is wearing no armor and carrying no more than a light load.
'''{{Anchor|Martial ArtCombat Style}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 1st level a songblade has begun his path down his own particular brand of the martial art of the singing razor, and may choose from one of the distinct variations. He either chooses the leaping sword and automatically gains [[Improved Initiative]] or the intuitive blade and gains [[Weapon Focus]] (Any Slashing).
'''{{Anchor|Uncanny Dodge}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Starting at 2nd level, a songblade can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He retains his [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus to [[SRD:AC|AC]] (if any) even if he is caught [[SRD:Flat-Footed|flat-footed]] or struck by an [[SRD:Invisible|invisible]] attacker. However, he still loses her [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus to [[SRD:AC|AC]] if immobilized.
'''{{Anchor|Fast Movement}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A 4th level a songblade’s land speed is faster than the norm for his race by +15 feet. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor and not carrying any more than a light load.
'''{{Anchor|Improved Martial ArtCombat Style}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 5th level, songblades who chose [[Improved Initiative]] at 1st level gain the [[Dodge]] feat, regardless of the prerequisites. Songblades who chose [[Weapon Focus]] at 1st level gain the [[Weapon Specialization]] feat, regardless of the prerequisite.
'''{{Anchor|Edge}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' In the hands of a songblade, a blade isn't just a strip of metal with a long tapered edge, it is the potential for harm. Because of their extensive training with all forms of sharp objects, whenever a songblade attacks with a slashing weapon he adds a +1 competence bonus to the damage roll at 6th level. This bonus increases to +2 at 10th level, +3 at 10th level, +4 at 15th, and +5 at 20th level.
'''{{Anchor|Acrobatic Charge}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A songblade of 9th level or higher can charge in situations where others cannot. He may charge over difficult terrain that normally slows movement or allies blocking his path. This ability enables his to run down steep stairs, leap down from a balcony, or to tumble over tables to get to his target. Depending on the circumstance, he may still need to make appropriate checks (Jump or Tumble checks, in particular) to successfully move over the terrain.
'''{{Anchor|Superior Martial ArtCombat Style}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 8th level a songblade who chose [[Improved Initiative]] at first level gains the [[Mobility]] feat, regardless of the prerequisites. A songblade who chose [[Weapon Focus]] At first level gains the [[Greater Weapon Focus]] Feat, regardless of the prerequisites.
'''{{Anchor|Slice The Nether}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' At 9th level a songblade's accuracy with his blades are so powerful, he can cut down things that are barely there. All weapons that are considered one handed slashing weapons for the songblade are treated as if they have the ghost touch ability.
'''{{Anchor|Blade Dance}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 11th level, a songblade has near mastered his unique fighting style, and for a number of rounds per encounter equal to the songblade's [[SRD:Dexterity|dexterity]] modifier can become a whirling combination of grace and keen fury. Fellow songblades call this all important move, the blade dance. While in this dance, he can take a full attack action (for melee attacks only) and still move up to his speed. However, the songblade must move a minimum of 5 feet between each attack when using this ability, and he cannot return to a square he just exited (though he may return to that square later during his full attack). The songblade is subject to attacks of opportunity while dancing, but may tumble normally as part of his move. A songblade prevented from completing his move is also prevented from finishing his full attack.
'''{{Anchor|Master Martial ArtCombat Style}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 11th level a songblade who chose [[Improved Initiative]] at first level Gains the [[Spring Attack]] feat, regardless of the prerequisites. A songblade who chose [[Weapon Focus]] at 1st level gains the [[Greater Weapon Specialization]] feat regardless of the prerequisites.
'''{{Anchor|Improved Blitz Charge}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 12th level a songblade has become so fast, most enemies don't even see him coming. In addition to increasing the total charge distance to 4× the songblade's base land speed, when charging past a threatened square, the threatener must make a reflex save equal to 10 + the songblade's [[SRD:Dexterity|dex]] modifier + 1/2 the songblade's class level. Upon failure the threatener cannot make an attack of oppurtunity against the songblade. Upon success the attacker may roll to make his attack of opportunity as normal.
