And a fresh idea:

Harmony of the Heroic
Spell level : Bard: 5
School : Enchantment
Components : Verbal and Somatic
Range : Personal
Target/Area : Allies in medium area
Duration : 1 round/caster level
Save : None

With an enchanting harmony, the bard choreographs his or her allie's capabilities in combat, granting them greater ability to work as a team.

For the duration of the spell, all allies within range of the bard gain a bonus of +2 to attack skills and saves, temporary HP equal to the bard's charisma modifer, and immunity to sneak attacks while within range, due to teamwork not allowing enemies to flank team members. Allies under the effects of silence do not benefit.

Something id be interested in seeing....would be something like bards tale...where the bard had to play the entire time the team fought...but it granted a huge(larger) set of bonuses.

You mean like bardsong?

Well sorta...the bard wouldnt be able to move or attack..but would stand there playing his lute(have an animation...i know ad could do it) and while playing a big group bonus would be goin on.

It would make em feel like a real bard...at least to me anyway as thats what skalds did back then during battles.

Sounds like an idea to incorporate into an epic "bard song" ability similar to epic magic.
