Spells:
Like other spellcasters, a skald can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table 1–9. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score (see Table 1–3 of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook). The skald’s selection of spells is extremely limited. A skald begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of the skald’s choice. At each new skald level, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table 1–10. Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a skald knows isn’t affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on Table 1–10 are fixed. At 5th level and at every third level thereafter, a skald can choose to learn a new spell in place of one he already knows. In effect, the skald loses the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same
A skald need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level. Raging Song (Su):
Starting a raging song is a standard action, but it can be maintained each round as a free action. A raging song cannot be disrupted, but it ends immediately if the skald is killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action each round to maintain it. A raging song counts as the bard’s bardic performance special ability for any effect that limits bardic performances, such as how many can be maintained at once. A raging song has audible components, but not visual components. Affected allies must be able to hear the skald for the song to have any effect. A deaf skald has a 20% chance to fail when attempting to use a raging song. If he fails this check, the attempt still counts against his daily limit. Deaf creatures are immune to raging songs. At the start of each ally’s turn in which they can hear the raging song, the skald’s allies must decide whether to accept or refuse its effects (this is not an action); unconscious allies automatically accept the song. Affected allies gain a +2 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution and a +1 morale bonus on Will saves, but also take a –1 penalty to AC. While under the effects of raging song, allies cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration. At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, the song’s bonuses on Will saving throws increase by 1; the penalty to AC doesn’t change. At 8th and 16th levels, the song’s bonus to Strength and Constitution increase by 2. If an ally has its own rage class ability (such as barbarian’s rage or bloodrager’s bloodrage), she may use the Strength, Constitution, and Will saving throw bonuses, and AC penalties from that ability instead of those from the raging song. However, raging song does not allow the ally to activate abilities dependent on other rage class abilities (such as rage powers, blood casting, or bloodrager bloodlines); the ally must activate her own rage class ability in order to use these dependent abilities. At 7th level, a skald can start a raging song as a move action instead of a standard action. At 13th level, a skald can start a raging song as a swift action.

Kruck Boulderstep :
Having spent a few decades in Kalgards in the Land of the Linnorm Kings, Kruck enjoy booze, brawls, history and songs. Spending time with the skalds of Kalgard taught him drinking songs, fighting songs and other tavern songs that would put even seasoned barmaids to shame. Kruck among his kin, nay his Clan is among the most wild of them all but difference here is that he gets others to join him in his festivities. The dwarven God Grundinnar is his chosen patron and Singing is his forte. Indeed he's a rather smooth tongue for a dwarf and despite being physically weaker then his kin, all in all he's still one tough barrel of muscle and rythme. With good alcohol of course.

Kruck Boulderstep Appearance:
Heavy furs on his shoulders speaking of his northern origins. A well worn axe of clear dwarven design. Beard and hair braided and a pewter mug hanging at his side. His pack is well maintained as is his weapon but there everything else is not. Wild eyed, Wide Grin upon a slightly bluish face adorns this rather unusual dwarf. Kruck is warrior Poet. A bard of sorts. He'll indeed shake most people beliefs whenever he goes.
