Estild and DEV team,


I was having a conversation with a Bard friend, and an issue came up. Is there ANY way the Development GMs would consider allowing bards to be able to STOW their sonic weapons the way they can wear their sonic shields for 60 seconds? I'm not sure how difficult this would be, but for climb checks, this is a huge hindrance to bards to be able to wear their sonic shields but not stow their sonic weapons. Even if 30 seconds, this would be a huge quality of life improvement for Bards to be able to psss climb/swim checks. Can anyone in red give a yes or no to this idea?

I had always pictured being able to just toss your weapon up in the air, climb or loot or whatever you were going to do, then your weapon returns to your hand. Stowing is so boring.

How about "Dance My Lance", with messaging describing scenes of the Master Librarian practicing with King Arthur's Sword from the show "The Librarian"?

Thanks very much for this. It is very helpful.

Wow Estild! That was AMAZING!

Thank you very much.

This is awesome. Thanks for paying attention here and fixing this little quality of life things that have been around for ages! It makes a huge difference.

I even walked away from my runestaff floating in mid-air (had a physical one in-hand) and when I came back around the circle, there it still was. I thought it was neat.

So I agree: good job, a good QoL add!

Any chance of having armor done the same way?
("renew 1014 off" and your AsG19 half plate [seriously, what Bard would cover their head & neck?!?] is left floating over there in mid-air, until you "renew 1014 on" OR "renew 1014 15" and the plate [OR augmented chain, in the second case] re-forms around you...)

Sure would help with some mid-field Minor Elemental casting.

Honestly, the only thing that stance prevents is the "saving of 10 mana".

---

"stop 1014"

<do Minor Elemental stuff>

"prep 1014/cast 15" (or 19, depending on my example)

---

There is castRT for both the cast and the renewal from my example.

The Bard is at hazard--being in nekkid skin, rather than manly armor--under either path.

No Armor (for minor casting) == No Armor (for minor casting), so no chance of hindrance either way.

---

If a Bard wants to be casting nekkid, he can probably afford the 10 mana to re-sing the armor.

I just wanted to have a bunch of Sonic Equipment littering the area. :)

And on a COMPLETELY separate note...

Can Sonic Armor/1014 be updated to permit a specification after it, for 'incant'?
(i.e. "incant sonicarmor 15" generates AsG15/augmented chain)

More to the point, can the feedback messaging upon actually issuing the above command be changed to be more accurate?
"No valid armor type was specified." is misleading, since I gave a perfectly valid AsG number, which is recognized quite well upon the 'prep sonicarmor/cast ##" usage, thank you very much.

.

Basically, I want single-line casting (using incant, or evoke, or any of the other verbs we've piled into the mix nowadays) with Songs, too.

From what I understand about bard spells, looking at the sonic weapon probably collapses the quantum wave function.

Hi Estlid, just a heads-up -- LOOKing at a sonic weapon while it's dropped will cause it to vanish. Guessing that wasn't intentional.

This should now be resolved. Thanks for reporting it.

Could we get sonic bows?
