Item: Fiddle of the Maestro
This exquisite fiddle is perfectly carved and balanced to produce the purest sound while granting its player perfect balance and poise. It grants a +2 item bonus to Performance checks. If you're a master in Performance, while playing it you also gain a +1 status bonus to Reflex saves and a +1 item bonus to Dexterity-based skill checks. If you're legendary in Performance, the bonuses are +2.
When you Perform with the fiddle, you can choose to create a harsh and discordant note. You critically fail the Performance check, shred the strings of the fiddle, and create an 8th-rank Noise Blast, with a @Template[emanation|distance:40] around you instead of a @Template[burst|distance:10]. The fiddle can't be played again until the strings are replaced at a cost of 200 gp.
