Subject: Re: [eqbards] Kill-stealing bards?


All the chant series have been increased somewhat but I hadn't heard that
they were increased by THAT much.... interesting...

What was the Druid tossing in? If it was careless lightning or something
more powerful that would explain it. Druids have some pretty hefty DD
spells.
