The Song of Valor (which some bards refer to as the Song of Sacrifice) motivates a single targeted ally to greatness. For one turn, the inspired creature gains a +4 dodge bonus to AC, +4 to attack, +4 to damage, and a +4 morale bonus to saving throws. However, since the performance demands the singer's full attention, the bard temporarily loses combat awareness, receiving penalties equal to half the boons inspired in the ally.

Uses one daily bard song.

Note: the bard takes the following penalties for the duration of the song: -2 AC, -2 attack, -2 damage, -2 saving throws.
