(since she's able to attack on her turn if she chooses).  Follow-up, were she to take her AoO does she automatically end her concentration on the Performance?  (she hasn't used up her standard action, so she *could* spend it later next turn... but does the attack force an auto-stop on the performance).Next Question,If she is concentrating on a Performance (as in Inspire Courage) and does take damage or fall off a builing or whatever, and then has to make a Concentration Check to maintain the performance, what is the DC?  Most similar situation DC's seem to be based on Spell Level, but this doesn't appear to have a spell level...Is there something she is/we are missing in the Bard or Bardic Music Description?  We thought we checked all the obvious places (Con Skill, Spell Casting, Concentration in the PHB, AoO...).Help please (thankfully it was a mental exercise that really didn't require our DM's rulling, but we forsee the situation arrising again next session)</blockquote>
