well, I have to admit, I've died like that a few times. Now if I see more
that 2 things that stun heading my way, I run before they get in range.
That's even if they con a high green. I was almost killed trying to fight 3
green orc at a time. I did manage to accellerando away, but it was close.

It took me a long time to figure this out. You have to be in windowed mode,
not full screen. Then you can drag and drop spell buttons just like other
things.

Right. Trust your instincts. You will probably know more about your songs
than any non-bard and maybe more about them then most bards, since you
frequent this group!

Amen and amen.
