People throwing on bard song on a party to just watch them leave is in bad form and I would argue is while not explicitly breaking the rules is very obviously exploiting the game like nature of NwN and TDN. Much as we are not allowed to exploit the AI or pathing. Bard song being a throw down...

I have heard that the weapon focus feats in particular are a lot of mind-numbing, tedious work that is super finnicky and not at all rewarding to do. I think in this particular case its more no one wants to subject themselves to this particular work.

I think the reason why shields are feeling comparatively bad is because we are using baseline shields and don't have access to more powerful equipment. Keep in mind that simple bonuses like +1 damage proportionally increase the damage of a 1 handed weapon more than a two handed so if anything...

A wizard or sorcerer running down their spell circles will do a hell of a lot more than 9d4 per round. Yes curse song is powerful but it still costs charges and requires a feat. Its also worth considering that who would actually want to burn all their song charges for a single 'nuke', again...

I think while strong bard song is the central ability of what is functionally a caster class, and costing them 3 full high level spell circles to compensate. The core strength of bard is bardsong and for it to be as powerful as you say requires a full 18 level investment and -25- ranks in...
