Bard song effects, specifically...

[Mahlennacht]

I am wondering what does the bard's battlesong (in SoA) specifically does to Luck and Morale. I'd be interested in the numbers, and in what way the battlesong improves with levels.

I'm soloing a blade so I know my song won't get better - it would help me to know at what point in the game the song becomes more or less useless so I can do more productive things

The ToB improved bardsong was nice in that I knew what the effects were, but I don't really know what I'm doing in SoA - feels like I'm just humming nervously while I watch my SkeletonWarriors engaged in fisticuffs (does the song even affect undead summons?

STR 18
DEX 18
CON 17
INT 18
WIS 3
CHA 15 or 18 w/ring
chaotic neutral

Which bard are you, a kit or normal. Jesters confuse, blades stay the same as the lvl and Skalds get bonuses. All I know is that it does improve. Ask SixofSpades

Actually, no, don't ask me, as I've never seen any exact stats either--all I've heard is that it grants combat bonuses, which is a pretty damn vague statement to make. Ask someone who actually looks at the code, like Alson or Vedran.

Myrddin L'argenton,
did you read what he wrote or just quote his whole text and say 'ask six' ?

I cant tell you the answer either, but I havent heard a lot of hype about blades singing for summons, that tactic seems more assosiated with the skald.
