[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 197703, member: 2013"] [b]I may be wrong...[/b] I may be wrong, but I believe the bard - and spellsongs - are NOT Open Game Content. Meaning even if they wanted to, nobody could make more spellsongs. That's really the only thing not to like about Monte's bard... it's SO different that it is almost impossible to "convert" an existing character... you have to start from scratch. *Shameless plug...* if you're really interested in adding depth and flavor to your bard without the hassle of converting to a totally new system, consider the Enchiridion of Mystic Music (available at [url]www.RPGNow.com[/url] ). You can find a brief product description and other goodies at [url]http://www.cooleys.org/publishing/[/url] - not as "radical" as Monte's revision, but is completely "modular" with the existing system (no converting from scratch). It vastly expands the bard's abilities by focusing on their music, rather than their spells. If you're dissatisfied by the fact that bardic music essentially stops at 9th level, you just might want to check it out... imagine over 80 things your bard can do with his music instead of the 6 in the PHB (that's more than 10 times as much). Best of all, it's practically 100% OGC (the only things in the book that aren't OGC are the product name, publisher name, e-mail addresses, graphics, and graphics credits), so anyone can add on to the basic system presented. :) --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
