A mythic skald may choose to have mythic raging song, or to have specific types of raging song be mythic (such as mythic inspired rage or mythic song of strength), or both. Each is treated as a separate mythic class feature – selecting mythic raging song only gives you the advantages listed under that entry, below. Each specific form of raging song must be selected as its own ability, and a skald may select any type of raging song he has access to as a mythic class feature whether or not he has also selected the mythic raging song option.
Mythic Spell List
The skald can add one witch spell of a spell level he can cast to his skald class spell list. (He must still select it as a spell known if he wishes to be able to cast it.) If he is mythic tier 3 or higher, he can add one wizard spell of a spell level he can cast to his skald class spell list. If he is mythic tier 6 or higher, he can add one druid spell of a spell level he can cast to his skald class spell list. This mythic class feature may be selected more than once. Each time it is selected, it adds another appropriate spell to the skald’s class spell list.
Mythic Bardic Knowledge
The skald adds his mythic tier to all Knowledge checks.
Mythic Cantrips
The skald adds his mythic tier to the number of cantrips he knows.
Mythic Raging Song
The skald can begin a mythic raging song as a free or immediate action. Maintaining a mythic raging song is also a free action. This acts as a normal raging song, but the skald does not need to be able to perform. The music or words needed for the raging song appear around the skald through sheer mythic might. As long as he can take mental actions, the skald can use his mythic raging song. He can maintain a mythic raging song while also using normal raging song, even if using an ability to have multiple raging songs at once (even if those abilities normally don’t stack with other methods of maintaining multiple performances, such as virtuoso performance).
The skald can perform a mythic raging song for number of rounds of per day equal to his mythic tier. No item or ability that grants additional rounds of raging song can extend this number. However, all other options that apply to raging song (such as Lingering Performance) also apply to mythic raging song.
Mythic Inspired Rage
The skald’s allies can use Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills while under the effect of mythic inspired rage.
Mythic Song of Marching
Movement during a mythic song of marching doesn’t count for the purpose of accruing nonlethal damage and fatigue. A mythic skald can expend one use of mythic power to continue his song of marching for an additional hour. The skald still expends only one round of raging song per hour, but must continue his song for the whole time.
Mythic Song of Strength
Allies gain an additional bonus equal to the skald’s mythic tier on Strength checks or Strength-based skill checks.
Mythic Dirge of Doom
The skald’s dirge of doom stacks normally with other fear effects (allowing it to cause creatures to become frightened or panicked).
Mythic Song of the Fallen
By spending 10 rounds of raging song instead of one, the raise dead effect on an ally is permanent.
Scribe Scroll
The skald gains the Mythic Scribe Scroll feat.
Mythic Versatile Performance
The skald selects one skill he has already selected with versatile performance. He may select a second skill with the same key ability score to associate to the same Performance skill, and use the Performance skill in place of the new associated skill bonus. For example, a skald who has selected to associate Handle Animal with Perform (percussion) may select any other Charisma-based skill to also be associated with Perform (percussion).
Mythic versatile performance may be selected a number of times equal to the number of skills the skald has selected with the versatile performance class feature.
Mythic Well-Versed
The skald becomes immune to bardic performance, sonic, and language-dependent effects from non-mythic sources.
Mythic Rage Powers (power)
To take a mythic rage power, a skald must have the non-mythic version of the rage power. No mythic rage power may be taken more than once.
Mythic Rage Powers (selection)
A mythic skald may select any rage power to affect him and his allies under the influence of his inspired rage. This doesn’t change the action required to active the skald’s raging song. If he selects a power which requires to spend rounds of rage, he can spend the same number of rounds of raging song instead to activate it.
Mythic Uncanny Dodge
Against attacks from nonmythic sources, the skald is never considered to be flatfooted or to have lost his Dexterity bonus to AC unless he is helpless.
Mythic Spell Kenning
The skald may cast the mythic version of a selected spell without spending uses of mythic power.
Mythic Lore Master
The skald adds his mythic tier to all Knowledge checks (including when he takes 10 or takes 20).
Mythic Improved Uncanny Dodge
The skald adds half his tier (minimum +1) to the number of rogue levels a creature must have to be able to flank him.
Mythic Damage Reduction
The skald applies the DR he gains from the skald class to all damage he takes, from any source. This stacks with other damage-reducing abilities, such as energy resistance.
Mythic Master Skald
Allies affected by inspired rage gain additional attacks per round and increase their movement as per mythic haste.
