Anyone familiar with the skald class from "Call of the wild" mod ?

[Eonwe]

It's my first time using this mod and i have no experience whatsoever with the tabletop skald class.

So here's what i don't understand :

Every 3 or so level you get to choose a rage power, much like a barbarian. You and your allies should benefit from this rage power as long as you're under the influence of the skald's rage song. That's what i understood reading the description anyway (even tho it sounds bit OP).

So at level 3 i chose lethal stance with my skald, since i won't have other sources of competence bonuses.

Problem is it works on the skald himself, but does nothing for my team mates, even if i'm singing inspired rage.

Is this bugged or am i not understanding how it's supposed to work ?

Ok nevermind, i found the answer in a FAQ : "Stance powers, and powers requiring explicit ability activation are not shared by design."

Well that's disappointing, skald seem to only be ghetto bards.

Give everyone superstition + witch hunter and take the 3 beast totem abilities. Now all your melee characters have pounce, natural armor bonuses, deal extra damage to anything that casts spells, and have high spell resistance (in PNP is a bonus to all saves against spells/SLAs including from allies, but that mechanic is difficult to implement in a video game).

Another possibility is the spirit totem line...that one slam attack every round is a lot more impressive when it is 6 slam attacks per round (one for each party member).

I didn't think pounce would work since it requires an ability activation (charge).

But if it does, it's pretty neat, especially with the turn based mode where u always charge left and right.

Getting spell resistance against your own buffs sounds really awful tho.

In Pen&Paper you can use a Standart Action to lower your SR for 1 round, so buffing up and healing doesnt have to roll against SR out of combat.

Aww well i'll cheat my skald to higher levels to check if pounce actually works and if it does i'll keep her since i'm running a melee heavy party (sword saint, trip vivi, warpriest, regongar).

Pounce is just to damn good.
