## Soothe The Beast *Echoing the music of creation, your music has power to calm animals.* **Prerequisite:** Bardic performance class feature, Perform 2 ranks **Benefit:** While using the fascinate Bardic performance, you can improve the attitude of an animal. This functions like wild empathy, except that you make a Perform check instead of a Diplomacy check and use the result to determine the animal's new attitude. The check takes 1 minute, but it might take longer to actually influence the animal. The typical domesticated animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. You can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but you take a –4 penalty on the check.
