I love that spell, and it doesn't seem likely to go out of style, unless the duskblade picks up haste through a feat."Aura Party" is a quisinart, and we're especially nasty against single highly powerfull foes.  We don't dominate as effectively against groups, but all in all we're performing quite well.I'm running out of things to say about the specific classes, so I asked my wife (the warblade player) for her opinion on the warblade.  She's barely aware of the existance of the boards, and seemed a little surprised when I mentioned that some people consider the warblade overpowered.  Here's what she said:"The warblade is very complicated to play.  I think a Fighter or Barbarian would outdamage the warblade, but I'm enjoying playing the character.  It'd be more powerfull than a Fighter or Barbarian if I could use all my maneuvers at once, but I can't.  I only get to use my +4d6 strike every other round, and it's a single attack.  It'r very complicated to play, though... if I take over the DMing duties, I wouldn't even consider keeping the warblade as an NPC.  It requires too much effort to play properly."I'm happy to say that no single PC seems to be hogging the spotlight.  Even our best moves (mass snakes swiftness, white raven tactics, and the auras) tend to spread the spotlight around.</blockquote>
