//Rules governing [[Advent Classes]]//\\

Mesmers are a unique class of ki users in that they weave performance into their fighting style. Whether it be dance, oration, song, or even a musical performance, mesmers tap into the ki resonance that can be acheived through their performance to enhance their abilities. Through their artistic expression, mesmers are able to regulate their ki flow in the same way that other classes use body movements. Mesmers are masters of illusion and hold a strange and curious power over their audiences. Mesmers can also chain their abilities to create arching performances that build a momentum for them and their allies

===== Performance =====
At level 4, mesmers gain two abilities
  * In combat, a mesmer can take a free action once per round to make a performance check (Moderate difficulty). This represents a peformance that is taking place throughout the round simultaneously with other actions taken. If they succeed on this check, they gain a 1d6 bonus which they grant to allies to use on their next action (applies to any talent formula). Each consecutive round in which they make a successful check, their bonus increases by 1d6. If the mesmer rolls 4 or higher on the performance check, the bonus increase for that round is 2d6. This bonus can be distributed among allies, up to 3d6 to any single ally
  * Outside of combat, a mesmer can make a performance check and grant a bonus on a skill check to a single ally. The bonus granted to your ally 1d6 for each performance point scored. This may be done three times per day, and requires at least twelve seconds of performance to take effect
