Shattered Kingdoms

Bards already bypass too many saves, they need less power, not more.

Rofl, Bards are single-handedly the easiest class in the game to kill. Not to mention you can completely neutralize them by deafening yourself.

Eh, a prepared bard can put a hurting on a lot of people.

Don't you rofl at me, young lady. Bards are fragile, but they're excellent.

Yes, until about 2 weeks after everybody sees a bard running around with their enemy, and then they start deafening themselves.

Scrolls, get creative.

I'm not saying bards aren't powerful, but it's a fairly easy class to nullify.

Not really, Syn. I just don't think you're being creative.

I dunno. Only Hellions, Shamans, and Necros can reliably deafen themselves. And even then, they're crippling themselves in doing so (Except maybe for necros).

Bards are a very different class. Easy to kill, GREAT to have around.

Dulrik could be the sweetest guy on earth if he visited one of these two hundred "Does art affect bard songs?" threads and give us a definite answer once and for all. I have been watching all these years and no cigar so far.

Personally, I think it does. With adequate enchantments, some characters of mine resisted song effects. Yulig couldn't get some of us to dance, but could others almost immediately. There's saves involved, but, still, Dulrik, save us!
