So this is feedback more than a suggestion, as I know it's not likely to get changed, because this is the way it works in tabletop.

But coming from the Pathfinder games, where Bardic Inspiration affects everyone in a radius, I was massively disappointed to discover it only affects one target in BG3 / 5e.

This seems to be an overly-drastic nerf to me, and really cripples how useful a bard can be to their group. Plus, the number of casts is the same.

As it lasts all day before a rest, should I be pre-casting it rather than casting it in combat?
Does that even work?
If so, it seems like needless busywork to me, which I had the impression 5e was designed to eliminate.
