Should Masterpeices just have been bard spells? or Alternate performance abilities?
Was it necessary to create a new mechanic for them?
Some bardic performances already function like the Masterpeices. The healing one requiring 4 rounds or performance to invoke, etc...
I like the concept of Bard magic and special songs/dance/etc with magical effects. But do we really need three different mechanics to cover the concept of Magicl songs/dance/etc...
(using song in place of dance/epic/etc..)
Song Magic Type 1
Bard spells already all require verbal or sound component to cast to simulate magical songs/chants/orations/epics etc...
Song Magic Type 2
Bardic performance
Song Magic Type 3
Masterpeices.
I love the way the masterpeices are present and almost wish the bard was built with a masterpeice list rather than a spell list. OR have all of their performances & spells rolled into a list of masterpeices they have learned.
Just seems like bards a getting burdened with three different things all trying to represent the same thing, Magic through performance.
It seems like it might have been simpler to just add in "The following addition bardic performance abilities can be aquired by spending a feat for each the bard wishes to learn. Accept they wanted to let you spend spells known on them as well so couldnt.
