Subsonics not activating bard song when invisible.
« on: June 21, 2018, 08:18:12 PM »
When a character is invisible, bard song does not apply bonuses while subsonics is activated. Is this intentional?

It's not; and it also affects it without Subsonics. I think I found the cause and will fix it in the next update.

I'm going to bump this bug up and say that now Bard song does apply the bonuses -period-. I'll also include the animation for bard song (white circle coming from the bard) doesn't trigger and also, compared to the non-EE Ravenloft insta-effect, takes one round to activate.

Intentional. New changes to how Bards work now. It only takes a half round however, you can get off bardsong and curse song in the same turn if you want.

Well I’ve thought about it a bit and based on the description of the feat itself I think bard song now only affects other creatures than the bard I.e. the bard song no longer affects the singer. There’s been a few mentions of the song still buffing people after all, so it would mean bard would rely even more on other players to travel with, which is pretty much a theme for the class to witness the achievements of others. Of course, it’s only a guess.

It's not working as intended, as EO already said. We're just waiting on a fix.

I found the issue, fixed it already for Shrouded Dance, and will fix it for Bard Song (and other related songs) in my next update.

Confirmed working aside the issues I mentioned in my own post.
