No action on the wearer’s part is required to gain the effect.Effect: While these slippers are on the wearer’s feet, he moves with unnatural grace and alacrity, gaining an enhancement bonus of +10 feet to his land speed. The slippers also grant him a +5 competence bonus on Tumble checks. A wearer who has at least 5 ranks in Perform (dance) accesses the true benefit of the slippers of battledancing. As long as he uses his base land speed to move (a fly, swim, burrowing, or climb speed), he gains a +2 insight bonus on initiative checks. If he moves at least 10 feet as part of a move action, he can use his Charisma modifier instead of his Strength or Dexterity modifier for attack rolls and damage rolls with one-handed or light weapons (both melee and ranged).Aura/Caster Level: Moderate transmutation; CL 7thContruction: Craft Wondrous Item, 5 ranks in Perform (dance), longstrider, cat's grace, easgle's splendor, 16,875 gp, 1,350 XP, 33 days.Weight: 1 lb.Price: 33,750Captain Roger’s Battle Ratte (Bardic Music Instrument) (Dragon Magazine #331, pg. 88).See next post.Focused Performer Feat (Dragon #338, pg. 89)(This is a prerequisite for the next feat): Pre-req: Concentration 1, Perform 4, Bardic Music.  When required to make a Concentration check to maintain an arcane spell with a verbal component you may use your Perform skill instead.  You cannot use this ability on a silent spell.Focused Performance feat (Dragon #338, pg. 89).  Pre-Req: Concentration 1, Perform 6, Focused Performer, Bardic Music.  You can expend daily uses of your bardic music ability to modify your performance.  You must succeed at a Perform check (DC below) to successfully modify your bardic music ability.  You may only apply one modification to a use of bardic music.  The most popular bardic music modifications follow:1) Accompaniment – Spend 3 uses to perform two Bardic Music abilities simultaneously.
