Chelaxian Diva is an Archetype of the Bard class in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

Description

Cheliax is well known for its elaborate operas, and as with any kind of theater, there are performers whose egos get the better of them. Some have an inflated idea of their talent and importance. A few, the Chelaxian divas, are wholly justified in their feelings of superiority. In their pursuit of glory, their magic and discipline allow them to prove themselves better than any upstart actor, dancer, or chorus member — and when crossed, their fury is legendary.

Base Features

	Famous
	A Chelaxian diva adds half her class level (minimum 1) as a bonus on Persuasion checks (when used for diplomacy or bluff).
No image yet	Prima Donna
	At 2nd level, as her efforts to outdo her rivals increase, a Chelaxian diva can spend additional rounds of bardic performance to receive a +2 bonus on her saving throw DC for those performances. The diva must spend an additional round of bardic performance for every round she uses prima donna to increase her saving throw DC.
	The Tragedy of False Hope
	At 3rd level, a Chelaxian diva learns to create a feeling of deceptive confidence in an enemy. When she activates this performance, all enemies within 30 feet become flat-footed for as long as she maintains the performance. A successful Will save negates the effect (DC equals 10 + 1/2 the diva's level + her Charisma modifier). Any target with the uncanny dodge class feature or an ability with a similar effect is immune to this performance. This is a mind-affecting emotion effect.
	Devastating Aria
	At 2nd level, a Chelaxian diva can spend 1 round of bardic performance to direct a burst of sonically charged words at a creature or object. This performance deals 1d6 points of sonic damage + the diva's level to an object, or half this damage to a living creature. This damage increases by 1d6 for every 4 levels the diva has attained beyond 3rd. A creature affected by a rendition of The Tragedy of False Hope becomes vulnerable to this damage.
No image yet	Deadly Vibrato
	At 6th level, a Chelaxian diva can spend an additional round of bardic performance to complement it with a deadly vibrato, causing the bodies of her enemies to resonate and disintegrate. When used, if an enemy starts their turn within the range of the diva's bardic performance, that enemy takes 1d8 sonic damage unless they succeed at a Fortitude saving throw (DC equals 10 + 1/2 the diva's level + her Charisma modifier). At 14th level, this damage increases to 2d8, and At 20th level, it increases to 3d8.
No image yet	Blazing Rondo
	At 9th level, a Chelaxian diva can quicken her allies' movements, but the effort of keeping up with the beat is wearying. The diva and her allies gain the benefits of [[[Haste]] while she maintains this performance, except the bonus to AC and on attack rolls and Reflex saves is one-fifth of her bard level. These allies must be within 60 feet of the diva to receive this benefit. When she ceases this performance, any creature that received this benefit for at least 3 rounds must succeed at a Fortitude save or be fatigued for twice as many rounds as they were affected.
No image yet	Vindictive Soliloquy
	At 12th level, a Chelaxian diva can provide an impassioned monologue from the point of view of a noble queen, voicing her inner turmoil at being betrayed by her own sister and calling for justice to strike from the heavens. Upon completing the performance, the diva may conjure bolts of lightning as though she had cast Call Lightning Storm, except the bolts are made of elemental thunder and deal sonic damage rather than electricity damage. The bolts do not increase in damage if outdoors in a stormy area. Instead, in any environment, she may attempt a DC 30 Persuasion check as part of the standard action to call a bolt. If her Persuasion check is successful, that bolt deals 5d10 points of sonic damage instead of 5d6.
No image yet	Banshee's Requiem
	At 16th level, a Chelaxian diva learns to fill her performance with the mournful angst of a lost love, evoking the inexorable pull of the grave upon every living thing. All living creatures within 30 feet at the start of her turn each round gain 2 negative levels unless they succeed at a Fortitude saving throw (DC equals 10 + 1/2 the diva's level + her Charisma modifier). This is a death effect and a sonic effect.
