Skalds should lose the spells

[darth_borehd]

Anybody else feel that skalds should lose all spellcasting in favor of something else?

Maybe they can get a few hexes or more bardic abilities. I think spellcasting is just all wrong for Viking skalds.

You haven't read that much of the Eddas, have you? Magical songs are very much in tune with the Viking mythos.

I was hoping they'd be the spell-less full BAB bard, yes. I don't think magic is against the flavor in any way, I just wanted that option available. With enough hexlike or rage-powerlike music effects, they won't even necessarily lose narrative power.

They could cast spells like Montes Bard. Regardless, they should get more songs and SU.
