There is a serious problem with the Skald that is hopefully just terrible wording. As written, raging song is pretty much worthless for defensive abilities, no escape, and taking attacks of opportunity.

If accepted, the raging song's effects last for that ally's turn or until the song ends, whichever comes first.

Shouldn't it last until the beginning of the ally's next turn where they need to make the choice again (if the song hasn't ended)? Even then, it shouldn't end if the ally accepts it. Temporary loss of con could lead to death. Temporary hp from Energy Absorption is also lost.

This is also a problem if people decide to change the con bonus to temp hp like the unchained barbarian, it would mean losing those temp hp and never getting any back for that fight.

This has been asked on the forums many times, but a developer has never answered.

The spells say, A rogue (only) can use the Perception skill to find [spell name], but Pathfinder removed the rogue only restriction on finding magic traps. Even if you keep the restriction it would be the trapfinding class feature.

Double the price if the party doesn't craft the items. This is how much it costs you if you want to restore the lost spells per day and spells known. This ignores bloodline powers, feats, stat differences, and other things gained from classes since you can't really compare them. Wizards and arcanists lose much less money but cannot make up for lost spells prepared without exploits.

The minimum cost for 16 bab is 695,500 gp. If you take 2 levels of hell knight signifier and use fractional bab, you could get 16 bab when combining it with 10 levels of ek and 1 level of a full bab class to gain proficiency with all martial weapons. The last sorcerer level is taken at 20th level to minimize costs.
