I can see the problem some people have with numerous sylvan bards. They are indeed a royal pain in the ass, and you have to wonder where the bards are that love putting on shows and entertaining vasts amount of PEOPLE, though I'm sure the squirrels and raccoons love a good show as well. *snort*
My biggest problem is the kazilliontrillionbillionmillion battle bards that there are. How many little drummer boys does an army need eh? Remember back in the day when arial assassins had certain cabal doors shut in their face cause the imms or whoever got sick and tired of their entire cabal being arial assassins? Battle isn't far from that point. I can see there being more than one sylvan bard, as it's perfectly likely that there would be numerous people that want to sing praises to nature(although any old bard can do that, you don't have to be a sylvan to love nature). Seriously though, how likely is it that 15 bards, born entertainers, would completely give up the show, the bright lights and ale, to focus their efforts on killing magic? I seriously doubt, considering the collective intelligence that has become a grand joke regarding battlerager rp, that those "barbarians" would be at all interested in sitting quitely watching somebody sing a song. They'd rather be out smashing heads. Again I bring up the olden armies, they had one, maybe two drummer boys to keep the marching procession in step, not 35.
