I would like to add some more interesting/powerful things but ones which require a sacrifice in the form of a dedicated true instrument. Stuff that is more powerful than normal bard stuff but which wears off instantly if you take your instrument off, and that are spread across the instruments so you can only choose one "specialization" at any given time.
I am 100% on board with this and if you want to change runic 2 or anything else in the future to reflect something like this, it would be a very cool and enjoyable.
While I don't have the greatest head for unique balanced ideas, I would certainly help to test if needed. Also Solo's ideas are pretty interesting.
