Root and Selo's.... It ALWAYS has worked for me, regardless of whether the
root was on ME, or ANY of my party!! I think this is a GREAT benefit, and
hope Verant does not remove it "as a bug". I've had 2 or 3 members of my
party rooted, all of them shouting "rooted!" and then I throw the song up,
ALL are released at the same time! The many "Thank you's" I receive make
me feel like a valuable member of the team!

As for mutliple bards, I have frequently travelled with one other bard in a
group. We always work out a "you play these songs because you are higher
level, I play these" routine, and it works well unless something bad happens
to one of us in combat (one of us dies, one of us forced to zone, etc). My
DREAM is to travel with a party full of SIX bards on day, if even for a
short time. THAT would be a lot of fun! heheheh!
