[QUOTE="heimdall, post: 946465, member: 12421"] I'm not liking the emotion song drop at all. Given that my bard is a relatively weak fighter compared to the fighters and clerics in the group, I've had to use emotion to save my neck (and the wizard's) when the baddies broke through. With so few known spells, breaking up emotion hurts a lot. As for sustaining song and the virtuoso class, there's a need for it in my group. The DM has a house rule that says to determine whether a character is dead or dying requires a full round spot check. That means at least two rounds to determine if a character is dying and/or dead and getting in position to heal. In the middle of battle, especially in open spaces, that song can mean all the difference between keeping a character within reach of life or getting ready to cough up the gold for True Res spell when we get back to civilization. I have a single level in virtuoso because of an encounter where we lost a member of the party. Successfully disengaging meant costly AoO that we couldn't afford to take. [/QUOTE]
