In IWD2, Power Attack and Expertise can be activated, and never shut off unless you shut them off manually or change which version (+1 to +5) you want activated.
Bard songs have a feat associated with them called Lingering Song that allows the song to last 2 rounds after the song is deactivated, so that the bard can still contribute to fights or pick pockets, or whatever.
The problem with Lingering Song is that you have to keep turning the song on and off every 2 rounds to keep it activated, which is pretty annoying, especially if you have more than one bard in the party.
I imagine that BIS could have made bard songs work like Power Attack and Expertise if you had the Lingering Song feat, where they simply are always on. This would remove the micromanagement and also happen to cure a bug that allows one bard to stack the same song an infinite number of times with Lingering Song.
Is it possible, through modding, to make Bard songs work in the same manner as Power Attack and Expertise if the Lingering Song feat is chosen? If not, could it be done regardless of Lingering Song?
I only have minor experience modding for BG2, so I wouldn't know where to begin with IWD2.
