I ran a fresh, level 1 Skald for a PFS session last night. It ended up being the most fun I've ever had at a PFS event. Even though half the table didn't want the Inspired Rage buff, I continuously felt I had options and I only had to roll to attack once in the entire session because we were able to bypass combat on a number of occasions.
I never had buy-in on the Bard before. I knew it was good, but I just wasn't interested. The Skald is an incredibly interesting flavor, though. On top of that, the rest of the players where pretty stoked when I handed out a hand-written condition card for the rage buff and told them how it worked.
Anyone else playing Skald or other ACG classes yet? If so, what has your experience been?

Skald looks excellent, with my only complaint being the mechanically almost irrelevant lack of Perform (Wind Instruments) in their Versatile Performance list. Where's the love for the warhorn?
And that's just about the easiest fix ever for home games. On top of being (as mentioned) almost meaningless in any mechanical sense.

I hadn't even seen that omission, but that's pretty critical given that there's a warhorn archetype for Skald.

I have to admit....I am kinda meh on the Skald...it seems to me that would have worked better as a archetype...but I do not have a problem with the mechanics.
I am currently have a 2nd level Swashbuckler fighting with the Rondelero style ( the Taldane style with a falcata and buckler). While I don't become really good till 3rd level ( When I can take slashing Grace) I was pleasantry surprised to learn that I can still use all on my deeds I get at 1st level as none of them say they need to be done with a certain type of weapon.

I still can't tell, but can Skalds use Masterpieces?
Skald has recently been added to the SRD, for those who don't have the book yet.
