I buffed the range to 8m in my bard mod. That feels a lot nicer to play with, but +5% resist/dodge per point gets to be pretty absurd by 6+ points in leadership. 8m range with 3% per point would probably play well, but that's not terribly exciting to invest in, especially early on. Maybe if it had another, offensive bonus, like increasing hit chance. I dunno, definitely needs a big tweak.
