Can you play the improved bardsong and fight, it would be stupid if not because 3 edition rules say you can (read it somewhere).

Nay ye can't. That would be overkill, methinks.

Damn it is not fair Aagggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh.
Please anybody can you fix me something so I can please.
Kevin, kensairyu, manveru.
I know you can call it cheating but the third edition rules say you can so please?
(besides I am planning to go solo with this bard so it wil not be that overpowered).
And If you make me one could you please make it so that you can't use the song while casting and tnesers transformation, so it has some restrictions.
Thanks anyway.

Ye sure 'bout that?
I can't imagine someone singin' an' fightin' at the same time.

I believe the Bard Song's effects stay on for about a second or two after you stop singing (that is, attack or cast). Try playing the Song in between to attack with the bonuses and be protected while casting (for two seconds, at least).

actually the song has a round or two duration, you can sing, then cast a spell & start singing again and the song never ends.
you can use a missle weapon instead of casting. it'll work but the timing may take some practice.

Yes, 3e bardsong stays active while fighting - they might actually be useful. Check out the NWN site.
