Updates

One of the notable issues with several Bardic abilities is the need for the Adept to continue to sing/play for the duration of the effect. (Rituals where the Adept plays for the casting time are generally fine.) For some of the spells this makes sense (e.g., Satyr’s Dance) but for others it appears an unnecessary limitation (e.g., Inspirational Song) that will severely limit player choices – and probably result in the ability never being used. Eliminating this requirement from abilities where it is not essential should help to improve College usability.
