Help me tune this homebrew class! [Skald]

[Secret Wizard]

I've recently found AceTheAlchemist's Skald homebrew class (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IlW4qe2Lsd0g3bdC_vlS06p7Rkk6h0T6/view).

I liked it quite a bit, but the problem I have with it (and my DM as well) is that it seems feature bloated and needlessly complex in a lot of different instances.

What changes would you do to this to streamline it?

Historical Basis, Legendary Loremaster, and Venomous Verse are the easiest to scrap, I think. Most of the text for the Epics seems to be flavor text; if you don't need that, you can scrap it and cut down on the clutter.

This is actually a nifty class, looking at it. A bardic half-caster with a strong support angle that would probably mesh nicely with Paladin...
