Ability Focus (bard songs) and Stormsinger ?

Unread post by predrag »

Well if the title wasn't enough , can anyone please tell me does this feat work with Stormsinger powers ?

I know the Realms of Trinity wiki claims it does but this isn't the same server , it might be implemented differently .

The bgtscc wiki lists only the bard songs cloud mind and fascinate (identical to the in-game description) as affected but I figured there is a chance the description wasn't updated assuming the PRC came in after the feat .

Realm of Trinity wikipedia says they do. Dunno if it applies to BG, but likely.

I don't think they apply at all. Ability focus only applies to stuff that doesn't do damage. Pretty much all of the stormsinger's abilities do damage save for gust of wind.

Dunno if it's custom on their website

Also from my understanding spell focus and the like does not work with Stormsingers powers either, as they are not spells directly, but songs. Extraordinary like innate powers. My understanding is mechanically while they mimic spells they are a triggered ability not a wizard or cleric spell. Likely any other feat that enhances spells does not work.
For example I brought it to the attention of Luna a long time back that the song that mimics call lighting was not improved the way the server does the spell. Luna had to alter that stormsinger power to match. If game mechanic wise it was a spell, it would not need to be altered as the game would recognize it and have already made the adjustment.
