It consumes the concentration slot every round until you choose to drop the remaining bless.I am **not** saying the Bard's normal inspiration die is OP.I am saying it is quite powerful and that with it as it is the bard is a very powerful class.I am also comparing the current bard with the AOE bard suggested and seeing a big gain in power in key circumstance - boss fight - by getting all the other PC covered at once plus getting all those extra bonus actions back.Given the overall strength of the bard, the current influence of the BID i see the big uptick to be providing a sognificat power up that is not needed. This is a whole character comparison. The rest of the character is identical. That different from say pulling one buff from one class and comparing it to another buff from another class.Consider, apply the *same* logic (compare bless to BID solo and see which is better) to HD by class and soon every class has d12 hd. Every class has all the armor prof... Etc cuz at each comparison the best wins...If you have found bards to be underperforming in your campaign by all means house rule them to have alk the extra power you think they need.But as far as convincing others that the class needs such improvements you are likely going to need more than feelings and apple bless to orange BID out of context side-by-sides. One item v another item isolate and out of context is not evidence, not convincing and not a strong approach to **CLASS** balance.YmmvSent from my [device_name] using <a href="http://EN World mobile app" target="_blank">EN World mobile app</a></blockquote>
