'''{{Anchor|Soliloquy}} {{Su}}:''' At any point starting at level 3, a Player can declare they're giving a soliloquy. As long as the Player does nothing more in a round than speak or move 10' or less, all other creatures treat it as invisible and silent. This is a Mind Affecting effect. A Musical Player may sing instead of speak, but may not use Bardic Music or similar class features during a soliloquy.
Additionally, a Player may give a death speech upon being killed. This allows them to speak, but take no other actions, for one minute after they are killed by any effect - including disintegration or having their soul stolen. Should they choose to do this, they cannot be healed and are dead for real and can't be brought back by revivify or similar effects.
'''{{Anchor|Celebrity}}:''' A level 4 Player is quite well known. They get the Celebrity feat as a bonus feat, even if they don't meet the prerequisites (unlikely though that is).
'''{{Anchor|Master Thespian}}:''' A level 5 Player is a Master Thespian and a legend in their trade. They choose one of the options below from the specializations they selected. Additionally they get a +2 to Perform (acting) checks that match that specialization because why not.
''{{Anchor|Master ComicInfinite Jest}} (Comedy) {{Su}}:'' When the Player spends a Bardic Performance to Fascinate, there is no limit to the amount of HD that can be effected and no maximum duration. The Player can just keep amusing people as long as desired. Eventually pesky things such as eating, drinking, and sleep may get in the way, but that's what props are for, isn't it?
''{{Anchor|Master SongbirdChorus Line}} (Musical) {{Su}}:'' The Player can start a song with an inspiring chorus that other creatures instinctively know and can follow along with. When the Player starts a Bardic performance, any number of allies in range can join in the performance (taking the same actions as the Player) and extend the range of the performance. Creatures joining in the chorus count as a Bard of half of the Player's character level with max ranks in Perform for the purposes of this effect.
''{{Anchor|Legendary Romantic}} (Romance) {{Sp}}:'' When the Player romances a creature, they may continue to romance their target as the same type of action as maintaining a Bardic Performance. While they do, the creature is dominated instead of charmed, can trade places with the Player as an immediate action when adjacent, and the Player is under a shield other effect with the target as the other. Truly, love is cruel.
''{{Anchor|Tragic HeroBody Double}} (Tragedy) {{Su}}:'' Once per day when the Player would die for whatever reason, they may instead fake their death. At any point at least one hour after they do, the Player may return "to life" as if affected by raise dead. Their body does not need to be intact for this, as it was just a convincing prop all along. They can choose to return to life either at the spot they died or at a spot the DM determines is narratively appropriate (the bar the party is in, the chambers of the evil king, a locked vault, etc). The negative level goes away after 24 hours, and you cannot fake your death again until it is removed.
