Chelaxian Diva

Unlock the full potential of the Chelaxian Diva archetype in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Learn about unique songs, powerful abilities, and level progression to dominate your foes with operatic might.

The Chelaxian Diva archetype, exclusive to the Dance of Masks DLC, transforms a Bard into a terrifying force using operatic prowess to confound and damage enemies. This archetype sacrifices most conventional Bard songs for unique, potent abilities.

2. Level 1: Gains a Feat and Inspire Courage. The 'Famous' ability adds half the class level to Persuasion (Bluff and Diplomacy) checks.
3. Level 2: Gains Devastating Aria and Bard Talent. Devastating Aria allows the Diva to deal sonic damage (1d6 + class level) to objects, with living creatures taking half damage. This damage increases by 1d6 every four levels, maxing at 5d6 at level 19. Creatures affected by Tragedy of False Hope become vulnerable to this damage.

5. Level 5: Gains a Feat and Prima Donna. This allows the Diva to spend 1 round of Performance to increase the save DC of her songs' effects by +2.
6. Level 6: Gains Deadly Vibrato and Bard Talent. The Diva can spend an additional round of performance to add 1d8 sonic damage to her song's effects, with a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + class level / 2 + CHA) to negate. Damage increases to 2d8 at level 14 and 3d8 at level 20.
