[IC] Chapter 1-9: Circle of Hate

[Portho Nihilbuck]

OoC : The dire wolf was not yet suymmon ed when Portho was still performing, ao qouls not gwt the courage bonus.

Lugar was adding up all my 1st Thoqqua's bonuses and he included the bard song, though he might have been just referring to Boo getting the bonuses from the song.  I said, I didn't think my Thoqqua could benefit from the Inspire Courage because the critter didn't hear the song.  But then Suranno posted and said, "Together with the bard's song (which I'm not sure should apply to elementals but they are not mindless after all) it's AC19 which is... still insufficient..." This sounded like his only issue with the Bard Song was that he wasn't sure if it should effect Elementals NOT that they weren't around when you were singing.

The conversation started >here<.  Lugar mentions the bard song in the 1st post.  I reply in the second about doubting the Thoqqua benefiting from the song.  Then Suranno replies in the third message.

So, like I originally said, I doubted they should get the bonus but this is Surrano's game and I'm not going throw away a perfectly good +1 attack and damage bonus if he's giving me one. 

[OoC  I wasn't sure of the order when the thoqqua were summoned.. just knew I had already stopped singing before the wolf was around, that is why the wolf cannot benefit.. he could not have heard the inspiring speech, just means i know what my next action should be. b If the thoqqua were around when I was singing, then they would get the +1  no question (whether the +1 applies to their damage because of the '+1 to weapon damage' wording was the debate.. he rules they do  which I like  , makes my buiff that much more effective when i can buff the summoned creatures and Boo's damage ]
