[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3976726, member: 710"] That's a good point. That might indeed be the fundamental issue with these "maneuvers". They are grounded in real-world combat, and they make sense as such. But in a magical setting, they quickly lose effectiveness, since these maneuvers don't really work ("logically/realistically") on the monsters of D&D. Spontanous casting, by the way, is a thing I am not too fond off for bards. I mean, think about it - to play good music, you usually train the piece you want to play a lot. You prepare for it. But you are also incredibly flexible - you can train a new piece anytime, and play it. I think Bard spellcasting should be closer to wizard spellcasting then to sorceror spellcasting. And they should probably be able to "Play" a few more spells per day - since most musicians can play several songs in a day, and they can also repeat them very often. :) [/QUOTE]
