PERFORMER ABILITIES!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Music soothes the savage beast, and Performers now have a chance of calming an
aggressive critter for a small focus cost by singing to it via SERENADE. This
calming effect wears off naturally over time, but is immediately cancelled if
the creature is attacked in any way, or if the Performer leaves the area.

Additionally, Performers will be able to PROVOKE creatures as well. (PROVOKE
<creature> AT <target>). Much like it sounds, you'll attempt to goad the
creature into attacking the victim creature/person. Beware, failure might get
them angry and attack you instead.
Note: PROVOKE requires the Performer to be at least 8th level.

Performers of 20th level or higher are able to lay the deceased (critters) to
rest with a DIRGE. This ability, particularly beneficial when bringing peace
to the undead, not only replenishes a portion of focus based on the difficulty
of the creature, but will also restore stamina and even hit points at higher
character levels.
A DIRGE performed at higher level will also replenish those in your group.

UPDATE 2/8

Experienced (level 15+) Performers may be able to LURE a critter, indigenous
to their location, to them. This handy ability requires an instrument (type
isn't specific), and a degree of charm and skill helps.

Kaelin Rae nods to you.
