Hmmm, bards have the rep for being monster magnets. But you prolly need to
play your songs no matter what but not AE (Area Effect). You dint say
zactly how young you are but the gnolls will go agro on people they see that
look tasty to them. they can tell how young you are and will attack you if
they think they can win. As you get older they get smarter and if they are
trival to you they don't attack. Unless of course their friends have
whipped them in to a frenzy and they are trying to help - ie you have
started a train.
Selos is not an area effect on NPC's so it should not matter. But if one of
your party had attacked that gnoll and gotten on its hate list - then when
it comes up and see you helping the party - it gets mad at you and attacks.
If you play an aera effect - like chords in a place like BB - that's very
high traffic and multi- level - you will get a LOT of attention real
quick!!! So don't play AE songs in dungeons - as a rule.

Hello everyone!
As a young bard who's had her fill of lurking around here, I
thought
I'd venture forth and ask a really simple question!
I've just returned home from a long long trip to Black
Burrow where
all the gnolls hang out. Boy was it dangerous!!!
Anyway, when sitting down with my group while all the spell
chuckers
recovered from their oh so hard zapping, playing a nice tune
just in
case we needed to run for the exit, it didn't take long for
the
nearest gnoll to suddenly turn and jump on me. Not the
meditating
high elves oh no, ignore everyone else and straight for
little old me.
So what I'm asking is ..... were they just offended by the
slightly
different interpretation I placed on Selo's, or do I have
some sort of
bad guy magnet attached to me! I deliberately avoided my
hymn of
restoration because I'd heard they really don't like you
helping
people, but does this hatred run to any kind of song
disturbing their
clearly very peaceful home?
Oh, and if a nice friendly L24 and up bard is hanging out
here who
donated a bronze helmet to a rather under-dressed me at the
docks in
Butcherblock a couple of weeks ago, can I just say thank you
very
much, it's saved my life on a number of occasions :)
Thanks everyone, see ya out there!
