Interesting bug(?) I've encountered in my version of both BG:EE and BG2:EE (2.5). All kitted bards have a limited song range - actually ridiculously short range, to be honest - but unkitted bards still enjoy a global song range. Have tested with CHARNAME bard and picking up Garrick, at level 1 in BG:EE and level cap in BG2:EE and in all cases an unkitted bard can affect party members on the other side of the map, whereas a Blade or Skald can only affect party members in a very small radius around them. Even works if the bard's actually singing in an entirely different area! Oddly, upgrading to Enhanced Bard Song removes the global song from an unkitted bard and it returns to only affecting a small radius around them.

Suspect it's a bug and Beamdog somehow forgot to restrict the range on unkitted bard's song, but it's actually interesting because a global +3 luck from a Mislead image tucked away in a safe corner somewhere is arguably better than EBS affecting only a very small area around the singer.
