Bardic FireDancing and Barbarian Inner Fire

I was thinking (as I often do) that perhaps a barbarian viewing a Fire Dance could simply watch it, and avoid getting MR hits for up to a certain amount of time being so mesmerized by the skill of dancing, that perhaps it fills a barbarian's thoughts, with the recent memory of seeing a Bard Fire Dance. This then goes into a special temporary pool, that buffers a Barbarian's Inner fire hits, basically if a Barbarian would have taken a hit to IF due to an enchante, it takes a hit from this 'buffering-pool' instead. A barbarian would have to view a complete Fire Dance from start to finish for this ability to activate.

The theory behind this 'shared' ability: By viewing a Fire Dance, a barbarian becomes temporarily impervious to magical enchante effects. Because he'll be thinking of and remmembering from time to time a Bard leaping and jumping admist the flames. This takes his/her mind off the fact that the bard is using magic, and has the barbarian instead thinking about the recent fire dancing show, thus... creatively bypassing the need for an MR check.

(Perhaps even getting that very message whenever a would be hit dips into the buffering-pool.) This only effects hits taken from active Bardic enchantes, not spells at all.

Future Possibilities: This could become a minor profit-making opportunity for bards. Just think a bard dances for a certain time, making barbarian immune. Then say, barbarian goes hunting or to war and passes through several active enchante areas, each time he would have taken a serious hit, it draws the hit from this special temporary buffering pool.

Just a random comment to say that this blog rocks, and I read it all the time. Although I did get a little behind and now I'm dizzy with the posts to catch up on! You're terrific!
