Okay, here's my second one, again please feel free to comment -- one of the
joys of being a bard is that we have such varied and unique talents. I'd
hate to see our new songs be disappointing revisions of existing abilities.

The Chromatic Scale
Level: 36th
Skill: Singing
Description: A chromatic scale is all the notes an instrument is capable of
producing, generally played starting from the lowest to the highest and then
back down; slurred up (ligato), tongued down (staccato). The Chromatic
Scale when song by the bard would act much as the Vampiric Embrace necro
spell in that it imparts a proc to melee attacks however the twist is that
there would be 5 different types which randomly kick off: magic, fire, cold,
disease and poison based attacks. These would be DD's - there by filling in
our missing DD ability, but in a uniquely bard fashion (group based, becomes
more powerful as you add members and err... randomly good -- maybe. hehe).
Verant of course would come up with some cute little chromatic sparkles to
surround us and multi colored blasts as the proc goes off. :)

PS: For those D&D fans, recall the Chromatic* line of spells. Thanks to
whoever mentioned the confusion bit and D&D earlier -- ya got me thinking.
