	BUG NOTE: This class will not progress number of bard songs per day. It may appear that you are gaining songs per day below level 20, but it will even out in epic levels and a 25 Bard/5Dissonant Chord will end up with 25 songs per day and a 20 Bard/10 Stormsinger will end up with 20 songs per day. As compensation, if your character is at least level 24 with 4 levels of bard PrCs and 20 or more Bard levels, you will be granted the Extra Music feat for free, so don't take the Extra Music feat if your build will qualify for it and if you want to receive it later for free. We apologize for this inconvenience but it's a limitation of the game engine.		BUG NOTE: This class will not progress number of bard songs per day.
