:My success rate for twisting songs with a 95 DEX and 45 singing/instrument
skill is probably less than 33%. I'll start keeping track and see if I can
come up with an actual % rate instead of an estimate.
I dont reall know about this, but with my level 8 bard, I can nearly always twist my Chant of Battle, Whistling Warsong, and Selo's fairly successfuly. I would say that my success rate is about 80%-90%.
When I get the message "You missed a note", I do keep pushing the song
button but usually I just keep getting the same message. Only when the
first song runs out do I get to start another one.
This doesnt seem to happen to me all that often, usually if I keep pressing the song button, it works on the 2nd or 3rd try.
