Subject: RE: Bard Superstitions?


Well I have learned a few survival techniques last night while in the
hand room in Unrest. My party consisted of a rogue, myself a ranger and
three wizzies. That's right no healer whatsoever. Let's see some of the
lessons that I learned:

1. I cannot tank unless they are blue and totally asleep.
2. Green ghouls hit harder and more often than me (Got ambushed by a 5
ghoul train)
3. Yes healing song is great. Gives you reason not to fight and get hit.
4. The random number generator is horrible. I am wearing almost a full
suit of plate and was encumbered, yet I was able to get this message 4
times in a row "A skeletal monk hits you, but you dodge"
5. Extra mobs love singers

And finally

6. Don't ever level when camping in a room or the Festering hag will come
by to congratulate you =).

That happened to me last night as soon as I got my ding for my level I
look up and see my health bar drop from 5 bubbles to two bubbles in a
matter of seconds. What appeared? A festering hag coming to congratualte
me on my level 25. Was I singing a song? NOpe I was actually doing
nothing at the time =).
