Nope sorry, you should have phrased it differently. You said I'll lay the lute and if possible start singing, not the other way around. I would have allowed a change if the effect wasn't already known.
But hey, because of that, you get a +2 to your bardic knowledge check
The lack of daylight and their shadelike appearance make you believe that these are a special kind of wraiths, obviously since they are not the tormented souls of humans, but they were originally wolves. from bardic ballads you remember that these creatures are vulnerable to true sunlight, are somewhat resistant to turning and even magical weapons do not always affect them.
More on the Revision update:
All "Hold ..." spells now grant a saving throw each round to break the paralysis. The designers say this is to stop these spells from being lower level save or die effects (they are all quite powerful for their level), and to stop the (when used
against the PCs) "I'll go for a bag of crisps while everyone else keeps playing" syndrome.
This does weakens the spell somewhat, but not terribly so.
I will also apply this ruling to Ectoplasmic cocoon. Again, with DW7 saves, this should hardly make a difference
I'll also reallow the feats Greater Spell Focus and Greater Psionic Focus: It wasn't the feat that was unbalnced, but the spells themselves, with the holds and the polymorphs especially.
Both Polymorphs has been revised YET AGAIN (it has already been errata'd
thrice). Since the designers are still struggling on this one, I'll simply ban both spells till the revised edition arrives.
Jurgen has Polymorph self in his spellbook. He may either select a new 4th level spell, or I will provide him with an offensive spell from the Book of Eldritch Might on monday.
