Nobody familiar with the bard song?

I give this question a second try (see the "Bards"-thread). Is there anybody who knows the effects of the normal bard song and how it improves as you level up?

Normal Bard Song increases Luck and Morale.
Luck decreases attack rolls and damage caused by enemies. Effect increases as Bard level increases. Don't have any stats, though. This is straight out of the manual.

Finally member! Actually, I was after the stats. Would it be to much to hope that the bard song improves as much as the skald-song? The Skald is awesome, but since I want to play a half-elf, I find that kit a bit unfitting. Nordic warriors are humans, right? At least, that's the way I always pictured it.

I have no info about the normal Bard song but at least by replying here I may keep the post up where better informed players may see it.

I am playing a Skald myself and I am delighted with this class.

In regard to Half Elven Skalds I would note that "Half Elf" implies "Half Human". I can see no reason why that Human could not be of Nordic Descent.

A Half Elven Skald is not a real stretch IMO.

If this game was realistic there would be no half-elves at all and no mages, no monster etc. so I can't see why a half-elf skald wouldn't do.
I played one last time and I have to say his songs really rocked at the later parts of the game.
