Bardic Inspiration
Listen closely! I'm about to save your life! - Aestri
Description
It's time to give your audience a show.
Will you bring the house down or will you choke?
Press the Active Ability button while standing and motionless to enter the Performance interaction that lasts up to 15 seconds and empowers other Survivors within 16 metres of your location.
The empowering effect depends on the result of you rolling a d20 and lasts for 90 seconds after completing the Performance:
- 1: You scream, but without notifying the Killer.
- 2 - 10: Skill Checks grant +1 % Progression.
- 11 - 19: Skill Checks grant +2 % Progression.
- 20: Skill Checks grant +3 % Progression.
Bardic Inspiration has a cool-down of 110/100/90 seconds after completing the Performance or cancelling it.

Our take
Stand still, press the Active Ability button and perform for up to 15 seconds, and everyone within 16 metres gets a buff decided by a d20 roll that then lasts 90 seconds. Landing a 1 means you scream without the Killer being told, and a 2 to 10 roll only hands out +1% Progression.
How to use it Built for a coordinated team that can hold still together, since you must be motionless for the whole Performance. Mind the 110/100/90 second cool-down, which starts the moment you finish or cancel.
Best for Kindred, For the People and Better Together are among the partners listed, and all of them want teammates standing close. It needs a group that will actually gather instead of running in four directions.
