Subject: Idea for a bard instrument


Heya everyone,

ISP been down for a few days. =(

I just had an idea while I was out on a cancer break (cough cough
wheeze)...I was thinking about the monsters they have in EQ, and how many of
them are (of course) taken from mythology or AD&D. Then I started
remeniscing (sp?) about back when I was a kid in 5th grade lookin through
the school library and I came across some mythology books (Greek, Norse,
etc). This is when I first started getting into fantasy literature.

Well - I noticed that EQ doesn't have any satyrs (half-man, half goat) like
the greek god(?) Pan. I remembered the story about him seducing maidens with
his pan pipes/flute (whatever you want to call them), and thought it would
be neat if Verant were to add this to the game. Maybe a rare mob in Lesser
Fay or out on the Karanas. If you could kill him and get his pipes, you
could they would be useable as a wind instrument and give you +50 CHA! Just
kidding, a charisma bonus would be reasonable though for pixie strike and
such.

Just an idea.
