[QUOTE="Cavall, post: 5401058, member: 100498"] Sadly errated so it stops at max bonus for caster level. So boosting cure lights to a level 2 cleric with your song would make it go to a d8 plus 5 (the max of a cure light wounds). The "benefit" is that having a level 8 bard with a level 8 cleric could heal 4d8 +19. Thats significant, but hardly jaw dropping. They made the change after people did exactly what you just pointed out, use a cantrip to heal 13 points of damage. That being said, bard is the best class in the game to me. It fills so many roles, supports so many other players (like boosting healing above, or melee damage or even casters). You just need to play it larger than life, not just some guy in the corner with a lute. Bards never are in the corner. I dont even know with a bardic knowledge roll if they would know what a corner is. They are the leaders, the deal makers and the face of the party. They support, they buff, they heal and they lead.
