Inspire Toughness
A war chanter with 9 or more ranks in Perform can use her song or poetics to impart a kind of berserk resiliency on her allies (and herself). The effect lasts for as long as the ally hears the war chanter sing and for 5 rounds thereafter. An affected ally receives +2 temporary hit points for every class level of the war chanter. At 6th level and higher, a war chanter also grants affected allies the benefit of the Toughness feat when using this ability.
War Chanter Music
War chanter levels stack with bard levels for the purpose of determining how often a character can use war chanter music or bardic music and the effects of all bardic music. War chanter levels do not stack with bard levels for determining which songs a bard has access to.
Inspire Recklessness
A War chanter of 3rd level or higher with 12 or more ranks in the Perform skill can use her song or poetics to inspire an often dangerous, but very effective ferocity in one of her allies within 60 feet (or herself). The effect lasts for as long as the ally hears the war chanter sing and for 5 rounds thereafter. An affected ally (or the war chanter herself) is inspired to recklessness, gaining a +3 to her Attack Bonus and a -3 decrease to her AC. For every 6 ranks of Perform over 12 this increase another +1/-1.
Combine Songs
A war chanter of 5th level or higher with 12 or more ranks in the Perform skill can use two inspirations at the same time.

Singing Shout
When a war chanter of 8th level or higher engages in battle, she often lets out a singing shout as a standard action. All allies (including herself) within a 60-foot radius who can hear the war chanter gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength for a number of rounds equal to the class level of the war chanter.
