[QUOTE="vulcan_idic, post: 2981300, member: 19615"] Very interesting suggestions, and some very good points I had not considered - I must admit I hadn't actually read the mechanics for them in a while, I was mostly operating from memory. I like some of your suggestions, but I think some I may go a different way with. What do you think of this? -A bard's minor auras grant a bonus equal to 1 for a Perform DC of 15, plus 1 for every ten that he beats the DC by (+2 for 25, +3 for 35, etc), maxing out at +6 at 20th. A perform check is made each round the Bard wishes to continue activation and consumes a standard action for the turn. In order for allies to be affected by the auras they must be within Range (see Below) *and* aware of and able to appreciate the performance - i.e. not deaf, in an area of silence, etc. -A Bard's Auras affect all in range considered by the Bard to be allies. -The radius of a bard's minor auras is equal to his Charisma modifier x 10 feet. -The radius of a bard's major auras is equal to his Charisma modifier x 5 feet. -A bard has an unlimited number of uses of his auras. Activating or deactivating an aura is an full turn action. A bard can activate one minor aura and one major aura at a time. To change Auras he must deactivate one, and activate another. Aura number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier and he can activate each of his major auras a number of times per day equal to his Charisma modifier. I'm not sure how to run aura's known, how is it the Mashall does it? (I don't have the book on me atm) Does that seem fair/balanced? [/QUOTE]
