I don't know about that, battle bandaging is basically an extra fungi tunic at high level.

Likewise, playing 2-3 songs and then ramping up the intensity at shit/fan moments is a lot more than 50% effectiveness.

Clearly we disagree on this point, feel free to blacklist all bards that don't spin 4/5 songs while switching instruments and pulling with eyes.

I'm happy to play with people who only go at 50% potential; it's a binge game and people often play hours at a time. It's best not to burn out so you have the focus to spare when it counts.
