Hrmm, no clue what the Rilkan is. However, seems unlikely they would get Divine and Arcane casting as well as Bardic Knowledge and Bardic Music (not a requirement, but seeing as this is the reason for the Lyrist as opposed to Hierophant or even an MT, seems pointless to ignore) plus the ability to speak Druidic. Anyone who can do this with one class should just not bother with Lyrist.

Of course, what seems reasonable enough is for a Bard to actually possess evasion anyway, maybe steal away countersong/fascinate or both to provide evasion at 2 or 4. It is the only high Reflex base class I know of which never gets the ability.
