Bard lvl 3 Feats : Words of Creation : Celestial Choir (Book of Exaulted Deeds pg 31 & 32) - Effect : Doubles Bardic Music effects (includes Inspire Courage among other things) Song of the Heart (Eberon - pg 60) - Effect : Increases Bardic Music effects (increaseas Inspire Courage +1 - among other things) Peform : Horn 6 Ranks (Complete Adventurer pg 126) - Effect : Increases Inspire Courage +1 Dmg -1 Morale Spells : 0 : 1 : Inspirational Boost (Complete Adventurer pg 153) - Effect : As part of a Swift Action this spell increases Inspire Courage +1 for the duration of the Bards Performance With this kind of build, what is the total for Inspire Courage? Personaly, I would like to rule that the total inspire courage bonus to hit and dammage is : +8/Dmg. It has been pointed out that the BoED does list as an example only the BASE effect being increased (Sigh). An effective argument has been presented that only the BASE effect should be doubled, and the rest would just stack. This woud leave a +4/+5, for 2Hit/Dmg respectively. I'd like to hear your thoughts. -C Sacramento, CA
