Starting ability

Participating in this performance does not count as an endeavor—only your work of composing it does. When you perform the song, everyone participating (including you) Compels themselves as a group effort.

If the total effort beats {3 × #heroes} participating, all participants gain +1 overflow spirit.
All participants gain an additional +1 spirit for each performer who beats 8 with their individual result.

Participants, yourself included, can benefit from the following lore and instruments (but only one instrument at a time).

Guide-controlled characters. If a a friendly character who knows the Song lore joins the performance, they provides a +1 bonus to the group effort. Multiple performances. If more than one hero uses Song of Heroes during a rest, resolve each performance separately in sequence. You can participate in other heroes’ songs as an accompanyist!
