I think the key is to not focus on the auras, focus on other aspects of the character. That's harder to do with the marshal, but the DS does have a lot of nifty abilities, including the breath weapon everyone's talking about. I saw focus on those aspects, and let the auras tend to themselves.OR, you can work to show the party how good buffs can be.For example:DS: Hey, I just noticed you got weapon spec.Fighter: Yeah, its awesome!DS: Man, if only you could take it again right?Fighter: Yeah, that would be nice.DS: Okay, here you go, +2 to damage!!My favorite buff of the DS is the initiatitve bonus. Initiative is so hard to raise, I think the party might appreciate that one on its own.</blockquote>
