Song Drawbacks Make Some Nigh Useless

[namad]

the drawback of not using the other songs isn't really valid as a drawback is it? I mean a viking or soothsayer is never using any song! so even if each song is balanced to do almost nothing it's still fairly useful? I mean it only costs a couple runes! for the same price you would expect a purely positive fixed benefit of a couple % to something, a flexible bonus should be even more minor... and it is?



the reason the anti-undead songs are the most powerful songs is that the skald class replaces the paladin class... and the song ability replaces several anti-undead abilities paladins had before... so this is INTENTIONAL here

Personally I'm not a fan of making something so good it needs to be simutaneously nerfed to balance it. At what price, power?

For crying out loud, he's a bard, not a blood mage making pacts with dark powers. Can't he sing a few happy songs without inviting Odin's wrath, the baleful eye of Hel, or Loki's slimy touch?

It's safer to be a wizard.
