Alternate Sorrowsoul

Lyric Sorrow (Su): A sorrowsoul draws upon grief, rage, and tragedy to fuel his bardic performances. When a sorrowsoul begins a bardic performance, he can choose to alter its effects with lyric sorrow. If she does so, she uses twice the number of rounds of his bardic performance ability as normal, and even if the sorrowsoul has the Lingering Performance feat, the performance’s effects do not last for any additional rounds. Starting a lyric sorrow require a move action, and become a swift action at 7th, and a free action at 13th level.

At 1st level, a sorrowsoul can use his lyric sorrow in conjunction with inspire courage. When she chooses to do so, she increases her bonuses on saving throws and on weapon attack and damage rolls from +1 to +2, but her other allies receive no benefit. Her bonuses when using lyric sorrow with inspire courage increase by 2 at 5th level and every 6 bard levels thereafter, to a maximum of +8 at 17th level.

At 12th level, a sorrowsoul can use his lyric sorrow ability in conjunction with inspire greatness to grant himself 3 bonus Hit Dice, a +3 competence bonus on attack rolls, and a +2 competence bonus on Fortitude saves; if he does so, inspire greatness only affects him, not any other allies.

At 15th level, a sorrowsoul can use his lyric sorrow ability in conjunction with the inspire heroics bardic performance. When using the lyric sorrow version of this performance, a sorrowsoul gains fast healing 5 and benefits from a 50% miss chance, as if under the effects of displacement, in addition to the standard bonuses conferred by this bardic performance, but if she does so, inspire heroics only affects her, not any other allies.

This ability alters bardic performance and replaces soothing performance and versatile performance.

Darkness Denied (Ex): At 2nd level, a sorrowsoul gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against negative energy and death effects.

This ability replaces well-versed.

Spurn Harm (Su): A sorrowsoul can funnel his bardic powers to persevere in the face of seemingly certain death. At 5th level, a sorrowsoul can spend 3 rounds of her daily bardic performance as an immediate action to gain one of the following bonus for 1 round:

• +2 insight bonus on all saving throws.
• Spell resistance equal to 11 + her bard level
• DR 5/—, which improves by +1 7th level and each 2 levels thereafter (to a maximum of DR 10/— at 15th level).

At 11th level she may select two benefits from the list when she uses spurn harm. At 17th level she gains all three benefits.

This ability replaces lore master.

Sorrowsoul Soloist

These sorrowsoul are touched by death and tragedy, gaining that they are unable to uplift the spirits of others.

Sorrowful Resolves (Ex): A sorrowsoul soloist's heart is hardened by tragedy, she gain Resolute Personality as a bonus feat. Additionally when using lyric sorrow she uses a normal amount of rounds per day instead of twice as much.

This ability replaces the sorrowsoul abilities to use inspire courage, inspire greatness and inspire heroics outside of lyric sorrow.
