As much as I would love a bind song, it would go against how every song works.
Our songs are not permanent effects. They are not even long lasting. In
general, the effects we create only last for a few seconds after we stop
singing or playing our song. Binding is very different: it is a permanent
change to the environment.

The one exception to this is the charismatic catillion, which lasts until we
zone...and that somehow makes sense. I picture myself going into town and
singing to a merchant who loves the ballads of my adventures and tells all her
friends about me. As soon as I leave town they forget all about Sarsa and
listen to the next Bard who comes in.

If there was a bind song it could only keep us bound for as long as we sang
it. Not practical. Even if we did get a permanent bind, could you imagine
how loud the other melees would scream? If all 7 melee types died in Guk and
died in Freeport at the same time and started running back, who would arrive
first without outside aid? The bards of course! We already have the
advantage over all other melee classes in this area.

If anything, it makes more sense for all hybrids EXCEPT Bards to be able to
bind.
