Tell me, am I the only one that thinks it's absolutely rediculous that
Verant does not include a brief description of what songs/spells do when you
right click on the scroll or their icon in your book?
I mean, seriously. A bard would spend years studdying a song to use in
their travels and then not know what it does until they use it a few dozen
times?? A wizard would research and find components then have to combine
them in the right order and not know what the spell did?
Is it just me or does the "reality" get a bit suspended there? I'm not
saying we need something like "This song does XYZ dmg over XYZ minutes" but
a brief description like:
"The song will dammage your oponent slowly over time due to the discordant
tones as well as lowering his armor class due to the distraction it is
causing him."
For each song/spell this would be invaluable and would really not be all
that hard to implement. All they'd need to do is spend an hour or 2 to do
this for every spell/song in the game. Hell, given about 20-30 minutes I
could do it for all the bard songs.
I've never understood why we're kept in the dark as to what spells/songs do
once we have them. I could understand not having it on the spell sheet
before it's in the book, but once you've scribed it the book should have the
description. That's just 'real'.
Anyone else?
