Skald takes no penalties for Inspired Rage?

[Dispari Scuro]

I'm just looking at anything that gets bardic knowledge because I want to do a knowledge-centric character, and I'm comparing all the classes side-by-side. I have a question about the new Skald class from the ACG. Their Inspired Rage says:

"While under the effects of inspired rage, allies other than the skald cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration."

So just to clarify: Does this mean that the Skald herself gets the str/con benefits (and the -1 AC), but can still use any skills, and cast spells unhindered?

That... looks to be the case. It doesn't seem to have the line that prevents them from using skills or spellcasting while raging.

That's amazing.

In fact, it specifically says everyone OTHER than the skald. I may have to definitely play one now.
