You'd need a decent strength (13+), and a number of feats however. They give you a few extra combat-related things to do with your bardic music.Herald of the Battlefield [Tactical, Bardic music]Your successes in battle spur your comrades on to even greater victories and terrify your enemies.Prerequisites: Charisma 15+, Strength 13+, bardic music, Cleave, Power Attack, Intimidate 8 ranks.Benefit: The Herald of the Battlefield feat enables the use of three manoeuvres.Terror of the Battlefield (Su): To use this manoeuvre, you must have dropped an opponent in battle and be able to make a cleave attempt. Instead of a cleave attempt, you may spend a Bardic music use to terrify your opponent into inaction. They must make a will save (5 + 1/2 your ranks Intimidate + Charisma Modifier + ECL of fallen foe) or become dazed for 1 round.Using Terror of the battlefield still counts as a use of Cleave, and uses one of your Bardic Music uses for the day. Terror of the Battlefield is a mind-affecting, fear effect.Martial Encouragement (Su): To use this manoeuvre, you must drop a foe with a Cleave attack while your bardic music is lingering. The morale bonus granted by bardic music effects is increased by 1 for 1 round for any allies that see you down the foe. If you have the Great Cleave feat as well, the bonuses are cumulative. Martial encouragement is a mind affecting ability.Overwhelm ego (Su): To use this manoeuvre, you must have threatened a critical hit against an enemy. If your critical would be successful, you may instead choose to forgo the additional damage and spend a use of bardic music for the day. Your enemy must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Charisma modifier) or become panicked for 1 round. Overwhelm ego is a mind affecting, fear effect.True Terror of the Battlefield (Bardic Music, Tactical)You have learnt to harness your battle skill to increase the terror you inflict in your enemies when fighting.Prerequisites: Str 13+, Cha 17+, Bardic Music, Cleave, Great Cleave, Herald of the Battlefield, Power Attack, Intimidate 15 ranks.Benefit: The True Terror of the Battlefield feat allows the use of three manoeuvres.Improved Terror of the Battlefield: To use this manoeuvre, you must have felled 2 or more foes with your cleave attempts. Instead of making any further use of Great Cleave, you may spend 2 uses of Bardic music to terrify opponent within your reach into inaction. Every foe within your reach must make a will save (DC 5 + 1/2 your ranks in Intimidate + your Charisma modifier + ECL of the more powerful of the fallen foes) or become dazed for 1 round and shaken for 3 rounds.Using Improved Terror of the battlefield uses two of your Bardic Music uses for the day. Improved Terror of the Battlefield is a mind-affecting, fear effect.True Terror of the Battlefield: To use this manoeuvre, you must have felled 3 or more foes with your cleave attempts. Instead of making any further use of Great Cleave, you may spend 3 uses of Bardic music to terrify opponents within 5 feet times 1/2 your character level into inaction. Every foe within this range must make a will save (DC 5 + 1/2 your ranks in Intimidate + your Charisma modifier + ECL of the most powerful of the fallen foes) or become dazed for 1 round and shaken for 1 minute. These foes must be able to see you.Using True Terror of the battlefield uses two of your Bardic Music uses for the day. Improved Terror of the Battlefield is a mind-affecting, fear effect.Horror of the Battlefield: To use this manoeuvre, you must have used a coup de grace to kill a helpless foe. As a free action, you may spend a use of Bardic Music for the day to make a gaze attack against one foe within 30 feet. They must make a will save (DC 5 +1/2 your ranks in Intimidate + your Charisma modifier + 1/2 the ECL/CR of the foe you coup de graced) or become panicked for 1 round.Using Horror of the Battlefield uses one of your Bardic Music uses for the day. Horror of the Battlefield is a mind-affecting, fear effect.</blockquote>
