Bardic Inspiration houserules

[Tales and Chronicles]

It is unclear whether or not it adds. From a strict reading, they did not say that when the bard spent the reaction the song stopped.

So this sounds almost like each die launches a "bless" like effect where each "round" the bard can use their reaction to give someone the d6 modifier.

So, in a perfect situation, each use of a bardic inspire would last 10 rounds, eat the concentration and reactions of the bard but allow 10 different "here add this die" opportunities.

That would at its maximum turn a bard with 3d6 to give into a bard with three 10 round flurries giving a die each round.

But again, yo me it's not clear and I have no idea how this was developed or targetted so cannot asses its goal.

It really feels kinda like "bards dont get bless spell. F' that. Let's turn inspiration into that."

Exactly this. Giving the +dice doesnt end the song, so its possible that the bard give many +something over many round only for the cost of 1 inspiration, but it takes concentration AND you can only give the bonus stated by the song you started, so a Val Bard could start a +damage song and do it many rounds in a row but if he wants to hand out +AC dice, he must spend the Bardic Inspiration to start a new song.
