As I said, the way I would play it is to warn that the action the PC is about to take is not within the bound of being "exalted." One could debate endlessly about many individual acts, the key is to not penalize a player, but give them a chance to decide if they really want to the PC to step...

Perhaps an example would help? What issue are you seeing or anticipating? Either the conditions are met or not - and during a Time Stop no conditions involving another character are going to be met. No effect. In fact, these could be an interesting way to avoid a contingent effect, if you...

At best, this is treading the line. However, I would never take away (even temporarily) a PC's exalted status without a real-time warning to the player first. In other words, it's a DM judgement call, but I'd warn the player first. Something like: Druid PC's Player: "I show my claws in a...

I'd probably allow that, but, then, I think the way it allows an alignment and yet only a specific creature type is too restrictive on the creature type part, so I would tend to be just a tad generous if someone tried that sort of "type" for a creature..

Like many, I love reading this stuff...

"... repel either a specific kind of intelligent creature or creatures of a particular alignment, as defined by you..." "...The kind of creature to be affected must be named specifically..." So, first, what kind of creature or alignment is being repelled? If CE, the asnwer is obvious. If Red...

True, but... I could not start and maintain (only maintain) an existing "Inspire" effect by the rules, so the text is needed (though only the "start" part). Of course, that's assuming the "Even while using bardic music that doesn’t require concentration..." was not interpreted to mean that...

The "number of effects they say can't be done" is specifically limited and does not inlcude "spell-like" or "supernatural" abilites. I wonder what that says about intent? Again, if this restriction was really desired (and maybe it was), they did the did a most excellent job in hiding that when...

Not relevant - this just means you can use one action for two songs! This does not help you because it says you can "maintain concentration on a bardic music effect" and do other things. This is a huge benefit, but the "Inspire" abilities don't require concentration. It means you could, for...

Thanks for the info. I am having a little trouble with "not clearly explained.' I admit it may not be immediately obvious, but: 1. All the "Inspire" abilities last "for as long as the ally hears the bard sing ..." 2. Sing, of course, means: "reciting poetry, chanting, singing lyrical...

?? RAW is very clear. A Supernatural ability may be used while maintaining a bardic music "Inspire" ability. Starting a bardic music "Inspire" ability is a Supernatural ability. Ergo, while maintaining one "Inspire" ability, you can start another one. Whether or not that was intended, the...

Oh, c'mon now. I went through the effort of summarizing all my argument into one neat and clean post so you could refute it. "Just scroll up" is not a terribly helpful response to that. I really am very interested you (or anyone else) providing a point-by-point rebuttal.

I'll take your word for it on that "LA" exists for some dragons. It's incidental to this discussion anyway. You may have overlooked that my response had nothing to do with "that interpretation," assuming you mean Hyp's take on this. My response was simply looking down the stated rules on...

?? I am very confused by this statement. Since there has been much discussion, can you summarize how you have, using the rules, addressed each of the following: 1. Bardic music is not, in and of itself, an ability, it is a "category" of abilities. (Thus no disallowance of "using the same...

Actually: (1) Core dragons do not advance by class, so you won't find a bardic dragon. (2) Tossing that little tidbit aside, if a dragon had a bard class, or perhaps we used a dragon disciple with ranks only in perform (sing) and perfrom (oratory), sure, they could use a breath weapon and...

Now, now... let's not go down that road, I did not mean that to be taken personally, and apologize. I am asserting that the argument you are proposing has little, if any, foundation in the rules. It is not a bad thing to think that my statements are wrong and assert you would not allow mutiple...

This argument applies equally well to a single Inspire - for even as you see it, one could have one of the Inspire abilities up at all times. As near as I can tell, this basically comes down to a "gut feeling" - you think it is wrong, but the rules don't really back you up.

No, but then perhaps that's part of the difference between this supernatural ability and a casting a spell? We do know it is possible to use spellcraft to identify a spell being cast, but not to identify a supernatural ability being used. Not that it matters, anyway, for nothing says a bard...

While climbing, sure, depending uopn the instrument. The only limtiations are those listed or something that would cause the base requirement (must be able to "sing" and be heard "singing") is still met. Obviously being dead, stunned or any other condition that completely precluded the bard...

Quite right, though I had not thought about it exactly that way. It helps to remember that this is a supernatural ability - that is, it functions in a way that is not natural (it's magic!).
