[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4730054, member: 71571"] The bards don't do damage with music. Silly people. The bards sing a tale about heroism and stuff and then reality bends itself so that whatever the bard is yammering about comes true. 'You are a coward!' 'The bard called him a coward, but that's Sir Yorick the Brave!' 'Give it a moment' (TIME SPACE ALTERATION OCCURS) 'Oh, he's running away... like a coward....' Notice how a Bard has a number of powers that aren't singing but manipulate time-space? Oh yeah. It's not a coincidence. Bards are like a newspaper that has the ability to go back in time to make the stories they fabricate real and factual. They just -hate- being wrong -that- much. Also, that encounter utility power at level 6 (iirc) that allows them to transfer a saving throw to another? -Awesome.- Let's say you have two characters that get hit with the same status effect. Happens often when fighting a dragon. Fancy the Fabulous uses this power to give the condition from one guy suffering it, to his buddy who is suffering the same condition. Now, their effects overlap, and share durations (save ends). Except now that buddy's got a bonus to save against it. So you've ended -two- conditions quickly with a single power use. Let's just say that's -nice-, and without even bringing up the word 'Warden'. [/QUOTE]
