Rules Update: Bard Songs

I like the changes. I look forward to trying them out. Thanks. 

The thing is, the math of the skill just doesn't work out to be of an advantage.  It costs 3 build to buy what is a vague periodic skill which costs 3 points to cast and gives up to 6 pts of career points.  This more or less works out to spending 6 build for the ability of give 6 build to someone.  I realize the theoretical usage of the skill, as Geoff stated, but it just doesn't seem to add up to something that is worthwhile.  It'd make more sense to give them ability to simply refresh a used lower list periodic skill, or make the next non-crafting castable ability free and instant cast or both.  At least then it would be a true utility skill.   

Do Lyric of Inspiration and Lyric of Empowerment work on the Smith promo skill?

Sorry Zach, but both work on lower list skills only.

It is periodic per person. Meaning you can cast it on as many casters and craftsmen as you'd like, but only once per period on each individual person.

Legendary work is written on the lower list.  This may be why he is asking.  All of the promo skills are.
