Hi everyone. Just a couple questions about the Wyrm Singer Skald archetype. Firstly, the Wrym Singer has the following:
"Wyrm Song (Su)
A wyrm singer gains the following raging songs.
Draconic Rage (Su) At 1st level, a wyrm singer can kindle an echo of ancient rage felt between warring dragon clans in his allies. This ability acts as inspired rage, except those affected gain a +2 morale bonus on melee attack and damage rolls and a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against paralysis and sleep effects (but they still take a –1 penalty to their AC), rather than inspired rage’s normal bonuses. At 4th level and every 4 skald levels thereafter, the song’s bonuses on saves against paralysis and sleep effects increase by 1. At 8th and 16th levels, the song’s bonus on melee attack and damage rolls increases by 1.
This ability replaces inspired rage."
Now, I'm just wondering if there's an official rule on whether the ONLY penalty of Draconic Rage is the -1 AC penalty (since it's the only one mentioned), or if there's a good reason to believe that Draconic Rage carries all the normal penalties of Inspired Rage.
Question 2: how does the Community Minded trait interact with Draconic Rage?
Thanks in advance!

If you are talking about the inability to use skills, I believe that would still apply.
they gain certain bonuses.... rather than inspired rages' normal bonuses.
Rather than certain bonuses says nothing about penalties.
The fact that it specifically calls out the AC penalty, does not mean that other penalties do not apply.
I would rule the restrictions are still in place.
I would rule community minded applies.
