Bardsong Progression

Wondering if Bardsong (and possibly warlock EB) progression continues with racial PrCs? Specifically, I'm wondering about Brachina. I thought I'd read that casting PrCs would progress these abilities (maybe it was the new vampire stuff?).

I'm also very open to suggestions on this build if anyone has thoughts :)

Bardsongs don't progress unless mentioned in the class description, so no, Brachina don't progress bard songs.

My thought was a succubi bard, but that was a no go. Brachina seemed like a possible compromise.
I see what you mean about the specific text about progression too. I saw the bard thing on the Monadic Deva PrC (its half bardsong progression for them) and assumed other racial PrCs would get it too.

I am a bit curious why its given to Devas and not others though? Is there a power level imbalance there?

In short, yes. Though I think they're reworking bard song progression for some, if not all, RPrCs.


Side-note: Eldritch Blast progression continues for RPrCs, but warlock class features don't unless specifically stated.

Yeah that makes sense... I think of the blast more than the extra class features as iconic for warlock. I think I'd honestly rather have the bardsong over the bard spell progression :P The bard spells don't really capture the iconic feeling of playing a bard for me.

Meh, might just need to shelve the idea. Alas, to the next idea!

The idea is to give spell progression and song progression, but NOT new inspirations you would get by taking the appropriate level of actual bard.

Cool, I can totally get behind that. Are these supposed to be working as intended at the moment, or still in progress? I've got a monadic deva and a brachina that have pretty different progression things going on. . . so one of them may be borked? Happy to point whomever in their direction for comparison :D

When you say new inspirations, do you mean new kinds, but the old would still increase in power? Or any kind of inspiration?
