[QUOTE="Lord Sessadore, post: 5955911, member: 57255"] Note that I probably know less about Skalds than the rest of you, since I've never had to look them up before, and I don't have time right now. :p That said, what jbear said makes sense. The aura is an encounter power that lasts for the rest of the encounter, which is about 5 minutes, so that means you can't really keep it on all day. If you pop it randomly, it'll wear off after about 5 minutes, after which you need to take a short rest to regain the power. I'd say the best thing to do would be to pop it just before you enter combat if you have any kind of a warning. About the floating bonus, I'm pretty certain that with all bonuses you have to choose whether or not you're using it before you make the roll, unless it specifies otherwise. If jbear wants to let you guys use it retroactively I'm fine with that, though especially in PbP I think it would be better/cleaner to declare you're using it before you make your roll - retcons are messy. ;) [/QUOTE]
