[QUOTE="Magic Rub, post: 827601, member: 3619"] I would allow it for 2 reasons. (which I will explain after this blurb from the rules) Please note that the ( [b][u]chanting[/u][/b] ) emphasis is mine. ____________________________________________ [b]The Battle rager prestige class from Races of Faerun - states that they wade through battle singing & rageing all the way. (or something to that effect I don't have my book here so I cannot directly quote it.)[/b] ____________________________________________ Now here's why IMO bardic "music" can be used while in a rage: You do not need to sing or recite poetry to use bardic music. Chanting is as easy to do as speaking, which as far as I am aware is still allowed while raging. Infact Chanting is far simpler to do then free form speech (you don't need to put as much thought into it). A chant can be as little as one word repeated again & again. example... [i]"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"[/i] Secondly the "Battle Rager" class I mentioned above has the singing aspect noted as flavour text, not as a special ability (I'm only 99% positive about this, again I don't have my book with me so I can't check right now). Which would lead me to believe that full out singing is not a difficult thing to do while in a rage. Battle Ragers (for those who don't know) are essentially just (Dwarf only) Barbarians, with a few bells & whistles ie; improved poison saves. So to make a long rant short... Yes You can use the Bardic music ability while in a rage IMO. [/QUOTE]
