I agree it looks like there wasn't much thought put into some of these.
Can we say "Desperate for ideas"? Thought we could ;)
I think we should make our song suggestions to GZ REALLY good. Because my
guess is he's gonna do basically whatever we give him (with a tweak here or
there). I know my creative ideas are pretty much strained when trying to
think of NEW things to do with a bard song. I'm SURE his are, he has to
come up with new spells for 9 classes ;)
