Enhanced bard song is evil beyond belief!

Post by Bruce Lee »

A while back I started a crap party that I was going to play through SoA and ToB on insane level. Now it wasn't going very well at all until I yesterday discovered a way to make my party really shine. Btw My party is self created and consists of:
Jester
Beastmaster
Wizardslayer
Shapeshifter
Bountyhunter
Cleric
All human and all with their first roll statwise(all crappy)
Now I finally decided that I would pick enhanced bard song for my Jester and I don't regret it. I casted mislead and saw that the decoy could actually sing the battlesong. Now it doesn't say singing battlesong but the icon shows up and the effects are there... hmm so I thought this has to be explored. I casted simulacrum using Vhailors helm with a simulacrum scroll in my quickslot. The simmie then casted simulacrum again and both of the simmies then casted mislead which they were high enough level to do. Now when the five of us started to sing my weak party was not so weak anymore hehe. Even the beastmasters animal became lethal!
I think I am going to start a new blade sologame and use this exploit :D
Enhanced bardsong combined with UAI really has to be the best abilities in the game by far.
I guess I have to come up with a new weak party now...

:eek: so you're saying the Enhanced Bard Song bonuses are cumulative (AC, magic resistance,...)? Nice find, Bruce.

When will the mods make a sticky out of all these cheese tactics? It would be much better than learning about things posted a long time ago in different threads :rolleyes: .

I know that the bard song being cumulative is well known but I didn't know that the mislead decoy could sing.
