• Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +5, must have at least 8 ranks of Perform with the Musical instrument.
• Benefit: You can attack with a Musical instrument without penalty. However, only small and medium-sized instruments can be used in this manner. Large and immobile Musical instruments, such as harpsichords, organs and pianos obviously cannot be used, but flutes, mandolins, banjos and other hand held Musical instruments prove effective. Small Musical instruments inflict 1d4 points of damage, while medium-sized Musical instruments inflict 1d6 points of damage. They cause double damage on any critical hit. The wielder can also hurl the instrument, but its range increment is only 5 ft. Unfortunately, because these items were not constructed for combat purposes, a natural ‘1’ on the attack roll automatically breaks the instrument.
• Special: You can gain this feat multiple times, although its effects do not stack. Each time you acquire this feat, it applies to a different Musical instrument.
