I recently went through all the bard song perks and some of them seem overpowered when compared to other perks in the game, particularly Battlemarch of the Warbringer.

This perk gives an extra attack per round which seems to stack with other spells and abilities which makes this effectively brutal in terms of the already powerful barbarian/bard crossclassing.

I am petitioning to have the extra attack per round removed from this perk, perhaps replacing it with extra AB or +1 dmg of some kind.

Something that entices pure bards over multiclassing is best.

Bardrians are like DII barbarians. We NEED more of thouse.

They are well balanced as it stands.

Don't forget, this perk removes those amazing skill Bonuses that the base Song has. That can make a world of difference (And has)

Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. This song is only effective with many bard levels, making a poor choice for multiclass. As for overpowered, well, I think halflings are overpowered for their +2 dex, +1 ab, + ac, I think these bonuses should be removed. :P

It only adds 1 APR to the BARD, not allies. And you don't get it until 6 or 7 IIRC, so 3 bard Multiclasses get zip out of this perk. You further need 5 bard levels to even take it, I think. It would be better if we had a definite list of what the bard perks do, because otherwise we get speculation like this from players who don't necessarily know what they're arguing against but make a logical assumption based on the rather vague description.

djspectre

the perk listing doesnt mention anything about level requirements so, perhaps some clarification is needed then.

All the songs bonuses/penalties are under constant process of internal revision, when (if) we decide we've tweaked them how we like to be we may submit the information of what they do exactly to the playerbase.
