Bards do get Hide as a class skill, but the Bardic Music ability says:<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"> While these abilities fall under the category of bardic music and the descriptions discuss singing or playing instruments, they can all be activated by reciting poetry, chanting, singing lyrical songs, singing melodies, whistling, playing an instrument, or playing an instrument in combination with some spoken performance.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>If you've got Telepathy as a special ability, I guess you could pull off a telepathic Bardic performance...I dunno, I think this is another Ask Autocad question.
