Enchantment spells have an oomph due the the use of enchanment focus feats. In addition to these feats, the spellsinger ability, spell penetration feats, bard capstone as well as heighten allows the lyrical poet to stop mobs with a wave of their hands. In combat, the lyrical poet helps the party by softening up mobs before they reach. What the poet does is to lay down crowd control spells such as Otto's dancing sphere to make a group of mobs dance, and then whip out the trusty heavy repeater to cause some serious damage to the dancing mobs.

In close combat, the lyrical poet involves the use of spells such as Otto's resistible dance, hold monster, etc to immobilise the mob so that the poet can attack it with impunity. A decent constitution score is given so that the poet can take some beating while fascinating mobs. The poet is also given good healing abilities to act as a support healer for the party. In short, the poet is often the "sixth" man in the party, while he does not have a specialised function within the party, he is so versatile that any slot can be filled. Other than that, the songs that he sings are able to elevated the martial prowress of the party.
