Every bard spell has a somatic component, this overrides the spells entry. Bardic Performance – Learn a new Bardic Song choose one from the noted group or from a lesser group; can perform once per level per day; Bard gains 4 ranks of perform at level 1, and 1 rank every level thereafterPerformance - AffectLesser Songs:Inspire Courage - As PHB    Fascinate - As PHBInspire Competence - As PHBCountersong - As PHBSongs:Suggestion - As PHBDefensive Posture - Add Cha to AC for 10 rounds or till stopAggressive Aspect - Add Cha to Hit for 10 rounds or till stopGreater Songs:Inspire Greatness - As PHB, also gain +2 damageImproved Countersong - Bard may attempt a counterspell dispel magic but at half the bard’s caster level; if successful only area of 30ft radius around bard is considered counteredCompulsion - Bard can force a subject to commit any non-suicidal act, target must be fascinated and have suggestion implanted to follow Bard’s will, and gets saving throw at DC 13+Bard’s Cha; counts against daily limit                   NB. Bards use a wiz's spell list, but the unique bard spells are included in that list. PS. I think if you kept the way the Bard's spells work in PHB this alternative would still be okay, its just that they way my homebrew works their spell list is completely improper.PPS. Because bards now have a choice amongst their songs and that they are grouped differenly, DMs can create their own songs to add to the list and players can customize their bards a bit more.</blockquote>
