[QUOTE="Luce, post: 4287241, member: 29760"] Hello all, Tell me of the way you use music to enhance your game. Follows my examples: (I draw from Mercedes Lackey's music. Lyrics can be found on [url]http://www.geocities.com/Ravenfield_vale/lyrics.html[/url]) I my game the resident bard has several signature songs tied to his bard abilities. We put it when he invokes the ability. In addition to provide a nice back ground, it helps us to remember to include the effect. Overall it slow down play at times, but its a small trade off for the added enjoyment. And that is what is important, right? [B]Bard Music[/B] [I]Countersong[/I]-"Shield Spell" [I]Fascinate[/I]- the couplet [Then the mage moved his hands and the crowd its noise Each one staring as hard as he could And at last, she looked up and he gestured once more And the people froze still where they stood.] from the captive [I]Inspire Courage[/I]-"The Swordlady" [I]Inspire Competence[/I]-"Fundementals" [I]Inspire Greatness[/I]-Warrior [I]Song of Freedom[/I]-'The Vrondi eyes' [I]Inspire Heroics[/I]-'Shin'a'in Warsong' Other good ones are that I have used: Dark ending(for long running villain demise), 'Blade of desire' for an intelligent blade, strong willed too (23 ego). And 'Oathbreakers' as priest hymn (one of his domain is Justice) For minstrels (when visiting an inn or when invited to a dinner in a castle):"Demonbane",'A serious business', 'Price of commanding','Advice to Would-be Heroes','Magic's price'. Please share your choices. :) [/QUOTE]
