Subject: Mellifluous Motion


I used it to help a Barbarian Shaman friend get past a guard blocking the
door to the basement of High Keep. Only time I've used it, but glad I had
it then!

>8)The level 14 song DOES have a purpose. With many lore items,

>8)pointless, of course
>8)bards should know it! So the song is good.

>8)a song I see no purpose for! It seems to function like the
>8)old D&D spell
>8)Blink, but for it to be useful at all I think it would need its pulses

>8)cruel joke at that.
