Heh not friendly for groups?

Screech: Any bard who goes into a dungeon where you may have to evac should
have this memmed. Also ever fear/snare in burning woods? Its more
effective than a balanced group of 6 fighting the mobs straight up there.
We even have sold our cleric on the idea, and he just blasts the mobs now
(and heals when things go awry.

Chains: I always have this memmed in dungeons too. Why? Because stuff
happens. Your ranger goes LD before snaring. Someone screws up and roots
the mob (breaking snare). There is no snarer in the group (or your snarer
is too low). In any case NOBODY else can chase down a mob while casting
snare in an emrgency. (Is there a junark armor with snare? If so make that
nobody a bit smaller)

Songof the Sirens: You have to be kidding me. This is our most powerful
song (till higher lvl then its the 39 charm song). Worse case of this song
is you have one mob damaging the mob the parry is on rather than you 90% of
the time. Best case, you have 2 mobs beating on each other, while the party
kills a third. Oh yea, tell the enchanter who has half a bub of life when
you charm the mob off him (giving the healer time to heal) that you
shouldn;t mem the song when he's around. I cannot count the number of
enchanters/healers/over blasters I have saved with this song.

Clouding: Ok here there are some problems, BUT an organzied group can use
this song amazingly well. Player 1 walks, leading the group to their camp
in the dungeon. Rest of group, inlcuding bard singing clouding follows.
Player 2 who also knows the way "sweeps" behind the group making sure all
stay close.
