[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 3072820, member: 111"] A couple of correctons: 1. Concentration means "You must make a Concentration check whenever you might potentially be distracted (by taking damage, by harsh weather, and so on) while engaged in some action that requires your full attention. Such actions include manifesting a power, concentrating on an active power, directing a power, or using a psi-like ability." 2. Perhaps more importantly, "Some bardic music abilities require concentration, which means the bard must take a standard action each round to maintain the ability." 3. Of course, you might not be using your voice at all. 4. Switching "modes" of providing Bardic Music is not covered in the rules. It is unlclear, at at best, if you can freely switch between drum, horn, flute, harp and voice, for example. I tend to think you can, so long as you have the action available to pull out the other instrument you intend to use. A normal performance can certainly involve mutiple instruments. [/QUOTE]
