Am i missing something, or could a bard just use one use and play that song infinitively, untill he wants to change it or end it?

Cheers

THough that does seem to be the case, it seems rather cheezy and wrong. How long do you think it will take for the rogue who likes sneaking up on things to gag said bard?

If you sing Bardic Music . . . then no.

Each Bardic Music ability has a certain duration, some are as long as the bard sings/plays, but not all. These songs are Inspire Courage, Inspire Greatness and Inspire Heroics.

However, Countersong is 1 min, Fascinate is 1 rd/level, Inspire Competence is 2 mins and Song of Freedom is 1 min.

What about the songs of The Seeker of the song PrC?

The point I was trying to make is that the info you are looking for is under the description of each Bardic Music ability in the PHB . . . thus look at the description of the abilities of the Seeker of the Song and your answers should be there.

In fact after looking at Complete Arcane, your answers are definitely there.

All the Seeker of the Song abilities last as long as the bard sings and the ally can hear him sing (unless the ability is a damage dealing one, then it's instantaneous).
