Marshal auras and other class abilities

[Thurbane]

Just a couple of quick questions about Marshal (MH) auras:

~Since the Marshal needs to be able to communicate with his allies to use his auras, could a multiclassed Marshal/Bard use his auras and bardic music (singing/reciting) at the same time?

~Also, could a multiclassed Marshal/Dragon Shaman project Marshal auras and Dragon Shaman auras at the same time?

Yes to both.

I second this.

Thanks for the replies.

Is this specifically spelled out in the rules, or is it just a common sense thing?

It follows that rule that these kind of things are (mostly) explicitely forbidden if not allowed. Class features are usually balanced by itself.

If it helps you, the Badge of Valor (and it's set) seems to be specifically designed for marshal/bard multiclasses.

I'll elaborate a bit.

~Since the Marshal needs to be able to communicate with his allies to use his auras, could a multiclassed Marshal/Bard use his auras and bardic music (singing/reciting) at the same time?

It doesn't state any specific action needed for a marshal to continue to power his auras, so none should be needed.

~Also, could a multiclassed Marshal/Dragon Shaman project Marshal auras and Dragon Shaman auras at the same time?

Yes, because they are two separate class's abilities that don't contradict each other (except in the event of stacking bonuses, though). A marshall has (ex) auras that he needs to tell people how to benefit from (as little as that direction is needed to be given), while a dragon shaman's auras are a (su) ability, that he turns on & they mystically enhance allies.
