[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 7814918, member: 57383"] I think I'll disagree. The Bard's [I]Inspire Courage[/I] ability does not require concentration just that the ally be able to hear their inspiring music. So I'd say the Caprine ability it's based on ought to be the same - the goatperson just needs to keep on playing their musical instrument. There's nothing about "singing or playing a single note" in the original text. It should require the caprine play an instrument like is standard for resonance powers and it's presumably a standard action, while "single note" suggests a swift or even free action. Also, the phrasing "the effects of the [I]cause fear[/I] or [I]remove fear[/I] spell" is a little confusing since it could be interpreted as the caprine being able to produce both effects simultaneously. Furthermore, creatures with 6 or more HD are immune to the 3E [I]cause fear[/I] spell, so should we include that rule? Or the one that creatures who make their save against [I]cause fear[/I] are shaken for 1 round? The original BECMI cause fear just makes the target flee for 2 turns if they fail or does nothing if they save, while the AD&D version makes them flee for 1 round per level. How about: [I]Cause/Remove Fear:[/I] A caprine with a resonance score of 11 or more can play a tune that inspires courage or terror in all creatures within 40 feet of the caprine. A "terror" tune affects enemies who hear it like a [I]cause fear[/I] spell, while a "courage" tune affects allies who hear it like a [I]remove fear[/I] spell. Note that creatures with 6 or more HD are immune to the [I]cause fear[/I] spell. Treat this power as if it were a spell-like ability with a caster level equal to the caprine's Hit Dice and a Will save DC equal to 11 plus the caprine's Charisma modifier. The fear or courage effect lasts for 1 round per HD of the caprine. This is a mind-affecting fear ability. [/QUOTE]
