Subject: New song idea


Trying to come up with a song that is

1) extremely powerful
2) no other class has
3) makes bards extremely wanted on raids (a la
enchanters)
4) and has coding already built into the game

I came up with a song that is the opposite of
Melanie's Mellifluous Motion. A song that teleports
all party members in the zone to the bards location.

Name: Melanie's Call to Arms

This song would be extremely useful in conjuction with
a binding group leader. Imagine doing an Efreeti Raid
in SolB and wanting to bring in other members since
some need to leave. Instead of breaking through again
the group leader would be bound at zoneline, group up
the bard and gate back to his bindpoint. The group
leader would then group up the 4 new members and the
song would be sung and would teleport everyone back to
the bard.

There are a few problems with this that may make it
too powerful. Such as Plane of Sky (never been
myself) where this song could not be used to bypass
the teleporters etc... Also this song may need to
remove the party members from all hate lists or risk
causing a hellish train through the zone.

If it does remove everyone from hate list the song
becomes MUCH more powerful (too powerful?) in that in
Plane of Hate things go bad. The bard runs up the
wall away from the fight and sings the song, everyone
teleports up the bard and is removed from hate list.
Therefore removing the need for clerics to camp out
etc... This song combined with Selo's would make the
bard extremely wanted in any group, but especially
raids.

The song may need to use up mana, although I really
don't want all our songs using up mana.

Please let me know what you all think. Its just an
idea I came up with when I should be working =)
