 Notable differences between the musician profession and the entertainer profession include access to special abilities such as Colored Lights, Dazzle and Fire Jet in the musician technique skill line. While these abilities do not generate experience, they do add additional flare to performances.
 Other features become available at novice musician such as the ability to use playback and special effect droids as well as a quest path leading towards gaining unique songs and dances. Also importantly, musicians gain the ability to add mind enhancement buffs to other players.

−	~~''Effects Module''~~
−
−	To use effects modules, you must be either a Novice Musician or Novice Dancer. To program a playback module in a droid, you must have Novice Musician. If you do not have Novice Musician, you can still use a playback droid if you get a Musician to program it. Once it is programmed, you may control it with the /band commands.
−
−	These modules provide visual displays for an entertainer. You can place up to 10 different effects in a row, with a timer of 3 - 60 seconds between each effect. The following is a list of all 6 modules and a basic description of what they do.
−
−	~~:* Avian - white birds fly away from the droid~~
−	~~:* Foam - sort of like a cloud effect around the ground spreading about 4-5m~~
−	~~:* Electric Fog - a slow burst of sparkles surrounds the droid~~
−	~~:* Confetti - wads of confetti are thrown into the air and sprinkle everywhere~~
−	~~:* Mind bloom - a really nice looking slow moving plasma effect in the air around the droid~~
−	~~:* Dancing Jawa - Laser show with images of a dancing jawa floating in the air~~
−
−	The Effects module creates a radial menu with the Effects On/Off Toggle for a Novice Dancer of Musician. The Effects On/Off Toggle has a sub menu called Configure that allows you to program 10 slots. Each slot can be filled with one of the Effects Modules installed and allows you to set a delay time for each effect.

 ===Experience from buffing...===
-Buffing gives experience. Entertainer healing experience, in fact. Healing xp shows up as the last of 3 lines of healing xp each tick. But where does it come from? Every % buffed by the xp tick gives 1xp. So, if you look at that chart above and replace % with xp, that is how much xp you get per tick, up until your max. The max, of course, being your mind enhancement skill. Thus, if an unenhanced master is dancing exotic, and flourishes once early on, they will get 35% from the flourish, and 65% from the xp tick, so they will give the group 65 healing xp. If you get to 100% before one tick, you get no xp at all, as the xp tick isn't buffing any percentage.
 ===On the 2 minute minimum...===

-Now a little explanation on how that works... That is the base gain. The xp tick always adds that amount to the buff. A flourish, however, adds 5x that to the buff. So a flourish of basic adds 10%, while a flourish of virtuoso or exotic3 adds 35%. So, while the level of the performance DOES effect the gain.. 10 flourishes and even basic is 100%.

 Buffs are a minimum of 10 seconds. From there it's minutes at a time. Every flourish, and every xp tick adds 1 minute to the buff. So if there were not a 5 flourish limit, 120 flourishes would be 2 hours. Since there is a 5 flourish limit, that means at most you can add 6 minutes every 10 seconds. (5 for a flourish, 1 for the xp tick)
