Greetings all,

I am a 21st lvl bard and have been working with the song/instrument attack.
So far it has been working very well but I do have some questions. These
questions stem from looking at the Bard Song Calculator 8)

Looking at the output it says that at level 21 my songs do the following:

CoD w/intr 14dam x 3 ticks = 42
wo/intr 3dam x 3 ticks = 9

DDD w/intr 19dam x 3 ticks = 57
wo/intr 5dam x 3 ticks = 15

Okay, when I start a song and then stop the song it will pulse for 3 ticks
from what I have read on this board.

1) If I change instruments after stopping the song do I still get the
instrument effect during the 3 ticks ?? ie with DDD do I do 19+19+19 or
will it do 19+5+5.

2) Do creatures get resist attempts on each tick or do they only get the
resist attempt on the first pulse? reasoning behind this is that at times
my damage seems to go to nil even though I am not being resisted as far as
I can see.

3) How long is a tick? Is it 3 seconds or is it 6 seconds?

Thanx for you time and the great discussions held on this list.
