It can then expend this resonance to create a wide range of supernatural effects.A caprine can spend empowerment points to enhance some of its resonance abilities. Details are given in the individual ability descriptions.Resonance is measures in notes. The maximum number of resonance notes a caprine can sustain at any one time is equal to 5 times its hit dice plus either its Charisma or Constitution score (whichever is higher).Since resonance notes are harmonics in the ether, caprine can only use resonance on Planes that overlap the Ethereal Plane or when they're in the Ethereal Plane. If they travel to a plane that is not contiguous to the Ethereal Plane they are unable to use any of the resonance abilities described below, although they do not lose any harmonic resonance notes they have already accumulated.Striking a Resonance: There are six methods by which a caprine can produce resonance. A caprine can attempt each method only once per day. Resonance notes are cumulative, but caprine can only accumulate one day's worth of resonance at a time. If it has accumulated notes from a previous day's resonance, it loses all those notes as soon as it starts striking resonance. Its resonance score becomes the total number of resonance notes it strikes over the new day even if this is a lot less than it previously held.[Here's an alternative version where it keeps whichever is best, based on the assumption it can spend notes to use its abilities:Striking a Resonance:There are six methods by which a caprine can produce resonance. A caprine can attempt each method only once per day. Resonance notes are cumulative, but caprine can only accumulate one day's worth of resonance at a time. To increase its accumulated resonance a caprine needs to amass more resonance notes over a day than it is currently holding. For example, if a caprine accumulates a total of 17 notes over a day it can only increase its number of notes by accumulating 18 or more notes on a subsequent day or by spending some of those 17 notes. i.e. if it spends 6 notes to reduce its holding to 11 it can increase its number of notes by accumulating 12 or more notes over a day.]The six methods by which a caprine can create harmonic resonance notes are as follow:Cavorting: XDancing: X Dexterity check or Perform check?Imbibing: X Constitution check?Performing: X Charisma check or Perform check?Reveling: X multiple ability checks or Perform check?Consorting: X Charisma check?Expending Resonance:X</blockquote>
