This is a good idea .. thanks :)
Honestly, its so nice you guys are really supportive! I was feeling really
inadequate at barding because I couldn't do this but it seems its really not
necessary! If I play with casters, its easy to keep them happy - just play
mana ALL THE TIME! Haha!
Also, if anyone is bored and wants to share.. what songs were your standards
at 35ish? I usually play iwht a monk or a monk/cleric if that helps...
