Will need to manually adjust Perform requirements in the above for cursesong.
Also may have to remove the spaces I added between the 8 and ) on the levels ending with an 8 and ) (cause they lookes like this if i didn't add the space)

Got the number 84 for perform for level 40 using the currently available gear and using a pure bard fanatically devoted to performing.
Also any Races or Subraces with a Cha penalty won't be able to attain lvl 40 bardsong.

The 104 for Curse Song requires the use of bardsong.

Thx. I posted a similar mess in the dev category and it's been sitting there for months with no comments for being an eye-watering mess

Joran talked about party combo mojo before, I'm not sure how much of that was done. It's also pretty easy to do more interesting things with song or make it an ongoing effect as opposed to an instant (read nerf--use an area of effect and require you to stop singing to throw a spell or change to curse song or something).

I was looking hard at this awhile ago, I believe it would be possible to smash this down into a much more compact script by making the nSkill, nLevel, and nCha into a single variable. This would allow for a bit of variety in builds and remove the limitations imposed by Bioware. Lets call it nSong

Make each function a process of the new integer. Something like nAttack = nSong times .1 . This would be adjusted so that if you took the perfect bardsong build and figured what the max stat adjustment you wanted you could use that .1 variable to make it happen at level 40. I was thinking nSkill +(nLevel*nCha) would probably give us a better view of how well the build was made.

I think the current song format is... "sound".
It works well, make you put levels AND skill point in, which is a small price to pay for such a powerful ability.
All I think it needs is tweaking and a little customization really.
