Hi.

Can anybody, please, enlighten me:

1. Does Ranger/Clerics get druidic spells at same lvl as cleric's spells (except for 1st Round) or they limit in druidic spells by ranger lvl?

2. Will a group of characters be getting bonuses from two different bard's songs at the same moment (when two bards singing together)?

1. Limited by ranger level.
2. Good question, but probably not. You can see the actual dice rolls if you go to Options > Gameplay > Messaging and activate "Dice Rolls" and "Combat Feedback". Then during combat you will see a scrolling text window that shows the die roll plus whatever bonuses are being added/subtracted. With a little experimentation, you should be able to figure out if the bard spells stack with each other or not.

Thank you for your answer.

Actually, you CAN use two different bard songs at the same time.
You can even have more than one bard sing the same song and the effects will stack!
If you're so inclined, you could play with five bards, all of them singing the War Chant of Sith and thus giving the party a +10 AC bonus, +50% resistance to physical damage as well as regeneration of 10 hit points per round.

But that's not as overpowered as it may look like: The singing bards can't do anything else, leaving you with only one party member to do the actually fighting. :)
(I tried this - sixth member was a thief/fighter - but it got boring fast).

Make the 6th member a druid, shapeshift to water elemental and you get healed by physical damage ;-)

Or you could abuse the lingering song feat bug and use one bard to stack all the songs as many times as you want ;). But yeah, that breaks the game soI don't recommend doing that :P.

I derped, that is indeed IWD2. If I took better care to notice your first post mentioning the Ranger/Clerics, I would have clued in that you were only refering to IWD1.

Sorry bout that
