[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6617558, member: 7006"] Then I go back to my first line in my post... "Why do you need to write down any extra rules at all?" If you want bards who have instruments play those instruments in order to cast spells... then they do. Likewise, if you have bards who don't want to hold instruments but still cast spells... then they do too. You basically are just handwaving away all the V,S,M components like so many other players and DMs already do. What's the point in trying to codify these rules in print, when in truth it seems (from what I'm getting) you just want to give every bard player the opportunity to fluff their spellcasting, weapon use, *and* musicianship in whatever way they want. But if you really feel like you need it written down for yourself for whatever reason... then just go with what you wrote originally in your initial post: [b]Using a musical instrument with both hands and/or your mouth can replace the somatic and verbal component of the spell.[/b] That works just as fine as anything else.
