Your body can metabolize the thriae’s magic honey to boost your rage.

Prerequisites: Bloodrager with the thriae bloodline.

Starting on the round after the merope is consumed, you gain a +2 insight bonus on attack rolls and saving throws, and fast healing 3. You can also consume merope instead of honey or mead for the purpose of your sweet stinger bloodline power, but the benefits from this feat and sweet stinger don’t stack with each other.

In addition, while you wield a musical instrument as a weapon, the time required to begin a bardic performance or switch from one bardic performance to another is reduced by one step (from a standard action to a move action, from a move action to a swift action, and from a swift action to an immediate action).
