Hands of the Bard

Class:Guru, Vizier
Chakra: Hands

Every twitch of your fingers or movement of your hand is trailed by wisps and after-images of rarified akasha, making your movements entrancing, yet difficult to follow.

When you weave this veil, you gain a +2 bonus to concentration checks made to cast defensively and to the DCs of all spells or abilities with the pattern descriptor.

Essence

For each point of essence invested in this ability, increase the bonus to concentration checks and pattern DCs by +1.

Chakra Bind (Hands)

Binding this veil to your Hands chakra allows you to create a shifting patterns of trailing light and color with your hand gestures as a standard action, creating a pattern that entrances those who see it. Creatures within 30 feet must succeed on a Will save or be fascinated for as long as you maintain the effect (which you can do as a move action each round after you initiate the effect). You can only affect a total number of HD worth of creatures equal to twice your veilweaver level plus your veilweaving modifier.

Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first. Among creatures with equal HD, those who are closest to the spell’s point of origin are affected first. HD that are not sufficient to affect a creature are wasted. Sightless creatures are not affected.
