You can improve the abilities of your comrades through your performance.
Prerequisite: Perform 30 ranks, bardic music class feature
Benefit: You can use song or poetics to grant a bonus to one ability score to your allies. To be affected, an ally must hear the bard sing for 1 full round. The effect lasts as long as the bard sings and for 5 rounds after the bard stops singing (or 5 rounds after the ally can no longer hear the bard). While singing, the bard can fight but cannot cast spells, activate magic items by spell completion (such as scrolls), or activate magic items by command word (such as wands). Each ally to be inspired gains a +4 competence bonus to the same ability score, which you must choose before you begin inspiring. For instance, you could grant all allies a bonus to Strength, or all allies a bonus to Constitution, but you couldn't grant some allies a bonus to Strength and some a bonus to Constitution with the same performance.
Inspire excellence is a supernatural, mind-affecting ability. Using the feat counts as one of your uses of song or poetics for the day.
Special: This feat is treated as a bardic music inspiration ability for purposes of feats that affect such abilities.
