I just checked semiticgod's post and Luck is weaker than I thought. So it doesn't increase the Skull trap damage when you cast it but it reduces the damage you take when enemies cast Skull Trap against you. Below is the post I'm talking about.

In BG1, BG2, and SOD, luck DOES affect:

1. To-hit rolls 2. Spell damage taken 3. Physical damage dealt

Luck does NOT affect:

1. Critical hit and critical miss chances (unconfirmed) 2. Physical damage taken 3. Spell damage dealt 4. Saving throws 5. Thieving skills

So the only thing that the unkitted Bard song does that is not done by EBS is reduce spell damage taken. But EBS grants 5% magic resistance, so in a way, it does. EBS completely overshadows an unkitted Bard song. The only reason to not get EBS HLA is you have 2 bards and you want to stack the unkitted Bard Song with EBS from the other bard. If you only have a single unkitted Bard, always get EBS.
