New 1040 Suggestion by Mestys

[Danical]

As you can tell from the posts . . . I'm not too thrilled.

Few of us here actually read the official boards. Much less the bard section. Mind posting a link or copying it here so we can see wtf you're talking about?

Or you can use the thread that already exists.

This song allows the bard to attempt to rally his allies in battle. Successful rallying will free allies from sleep, calm, stuns, binds, and grant an attempt to stand up. The song is not targeted; it affects all allies in the bard's group.

Status Rate of Assistance for Group Members
Sleep Automatic
Calm Automatic
Stun 90% - 3% per remaining second of the stun, +3% seed 1 Telepathy Lore
Bind 75% - 3% per remaining second of the immobility, +3% seed 1 Telepathy Lore
Prone Normal attempt with a 3 * Seed 1 Telepathy Lore bonus. No RT.

The song may be attempted while the bard is stunned or immobile (not unconscious or calmed), but the bard is not assured of a successful cast. The base chance for the bard to successfully rally himself while stunned or immobile is 30% -2% per remaining second of stun/immobility + 1% per Mental Mana Control rank.

To clarify, the spellsong does not follow normal casting procedures, and would be activated via the SHOUT command. Mana cost is a flat 40 per attempt.

Sorry for poor formatting.

Yeah, I know when I'm knocked in the head and feelin stunned I usually try to think up a song to break loose of it. Works every time. I don't know why they didnt come up with this sooner.....

[StrayRogue]

Why are they trying to rehash the same ideas again and again? BESEECH anyone?

[Drezzt]

tell me about it. Promoting group hunting is one thing, but geesh...

[Danical]

The song is crap . . . it's a really really shitty version of beseech.

I really can't think of anything non-combat related I need though.

Give me a song that allows me to purify w/o worrying about mana and I'd be happy.

No thanks.

I definitely think this is a better idea than the previous. Work still needs to be done to make it unique though.

[Danical]

All you bards out there that actually give a shit about 1040 - you better start posting on the officials now.

[Makkah]

They're not gonna change the idea this time.

I think they should make the higher end spell songs made at least FOR the bard to be able to hunt alone. and not with everybody else. I wound understand group hunting when young, but I would think that when the bard is older, that it's more self-reliant. I suppose group hunting is still helpful at later stages. Geez louise, make the lower spells group hunting and higher end something that would help the bards tremendously.
