Basically the only different part about bards on EWA and Bioware's default is the bard/curse song.
With that said, here is the journals that you'd get anyways being a bard.
Bard Song Information:
Bard Song has been changed to help out bards in the game. They were slightly changed, not by much. All in all bard song added a sonic aura to the bard only. Curse song added a small spell failure. If you read your 'Bard Song Description' journal, it will show what the bard song level is and what attributes you gain. When you sing, the game will let you know of your bard song level. To understand the abbreviations, follow these meanings:
AB = Attack Bonus
AD = Attack Damage
AC = Armor Class
W = Will Save
F = Fortitude Save
R = Reflex Save
HP = Temp HP's/Damage
S = All Skills
SB = Will receive a sonic aura. Damage varies by level of bard.
SF = % of Spell Failure
Under each bard song level is the bard song and then the curse song. Each positive number means they get that bonus, each negative number means curse song does that decrease.
Example:
Perform >= 3 & Lvl >= 1 (Bard Song Level 1)
AB+1,AD+1,SB
AB-1,AD-1,SF-2
This means if your atleast level 1 bard and have a 3 perform, then you'll be a bard song level 1. this means your party will get a +1 attack bonus and +1 attack damage. You will receive a sonic aura.
The bottom line means curse song, hostiles will decrease there attack bonus and attack damage by 1. It will also give them %2 spell failure.
True 100% bards will get 5 extra rounds and sonic aura.
Sonic Aura will do sonic damage to the enemy every round. Any enemies outside your arena level range will only get max damage of 4. All enemies will get a 'WILL' save. (DC is calculated by bard level). If 'WILL' save fails then full damage is done to them. If 'WILL' save succeeds then they will get half damage and get a chance of a 'REFLEX' save for no damage at all. Reflex DC is based off of the bard's perform skill.
