[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 4196319, member: 111"] True, but... I could not [b][i]start and maintain[/i][/b][i][/i] (only [b][i]maintain[/i][/b][i][/i]) an existing "Inspire" effect by the rules, so the text is needed (though only the "start" part). Of course, that's assuming the "Even while using bardic music that doesn’t require concentration..." was not interpreted to mean that using an bardic music ability that requires concentration precludes using or maintaining any other bardic music ability. That's a reasonble interpretation of the above quote, but debatable. The rules for non-spell uses of concentration are a bit weak, but I think it may be reasonable to say that one cannot (without feats or a spell like Greater Harmonize) maintain an "Inspire" effect while concentrating (as in using a Standard Action to maintain concentration) on something else. What you may or may not do while "concentrating" on a bardic music effect is a whole different discussion, I think. [/QUOTE]
