Terror is awesome! All you need is a little bit of planning ahead. The Bravery spell is really cheap. The bard can cast that first, then blast his horn or drums to terrify the enemy with his Terror advantage.

It's amazingly powerful, since it affects people at any distance. It's great for when you get to choose how to start the battle. Cast Bravery first (which is an area spell that can get your whole party) and then start the battle with a frightening performance.

If anything, the bard should be more like the mentalist. He should be able to purchase all those cool bard powers as alternative abilities.

The only one he gets that I haven't found any use for is Empathy, which requires you to play an instrument or sing while you're trying to use it.
