I had an idea that since barbs are all about music and singing that I would pick out lyrics from modern songs and use them as the verbal components for my bard's spells and abilies. I spent about a a hour and a half looking at lyrics on the internet. I found few that I liked, then I thought that I could bring my idea to the comminity and it would make a really fun game. Here are the rules: 1)Find a lryic that relates in some way to a D&D spell 2) the spell must be on the bard spell list and have a verbal componet or be a bard ability ei.. inspire courage 3)When posting your lyric you must also post who wrote it and the song it is from example: spell: feather fall Lyric:Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air Buy the sky and sell band/song: REM/Fall on me Yeah I know it isn't a very good one. That is why I need the communities help.
