Feats

You express components with the gestalt sum of your body and mind.

Prerequisite Spellcraft 1 rank.

Benefit Excluding the verbal components of bard spells and related activities, you can use emotion, somatic, thought and verbal components interchangeably, provided doing so by itself does not reduce the number of unique components any particular activity requires. Any activity with a somatic component via this feat is subject to a chance of failure identical to a typical sorcerer's chance of arcane spell failure. Additionally, you can interchange your use of any expensive material component, with one or more alternative items of equal or greater value, provided each one bears significant meaning.

You can bolster your effects with extra casting components.

Prerequisite Spellcraft 1 rank.

Benefit Excluding components already required of you to do so, you can cast any spell or spell-like ability to include your choice of voluntary emotion, somatic, thought and verbal components. Spells and spell-like abilities with a somatic component via this feat are subject to a chance of failure identical to a typical sorcerer's chance of arcane spell failure. Each voluntary component you add via this feat to your casting of a spell or spell-like ability, increases its effective caster level by 1 with respect to overcoming spell resistance and resisting dispel attempts.
