This value can exceed your ECL. This ability does not increase your effective caster/manifester/initiator level for any purpose.Also, you may use a swift action to gain a number of temporary HP for one round equal to 1/2 your HD (without the modifications from this feat.)[/sblock]I'm annoyed that the Bard can't use Countersong (only can be used as a save replacement), personally.  Ah well.</blockquote>
