Oh, could you please post and repost this <g>
Drives me nuts when a caster dumps his mana
into post battle healing, heals people up to full,
then sits to med. Leaves me just sitting there,
with hymn almost useless. Also, they had no
idea how to work with someone lulling. I'd equip
my lute, and just be typing "wait 'til the second
from the left gets sparkly, then hit the one on the
right ...." when they'd just dive in against 4-6
bandits. Of course, there I am with my lute in
hand, and 4 of the 6 bandits make a bee-line
for me.
