It allows you to cast spells and activate command word magic items will maintaining bard song. Also, take a look at the Inspirational Boost spell from Spell Compendium. It boosts the effectiveness of the Inspire Courage bard song. As an 8th level bard using this, he can give all his allies +3 to hit and damage for the duration of the combat. Your allies should *love* you for that.Another trick to try is get a whip. Probably not strong enough for effective trips, but the disarm possibilities are great. Take the evil clerics holy symbol, the opposing mages wand, etc. Also, you can use it to aid another on the big bads to give your tank some help. Plus since you're 15 feet away, and not actually doing any damage to the bad guy, you're a lot more likely to get ignored.</blockquote>
