Aura Masters

I feel Bard's are like Aura masters from WarCraft 3.

The necessary logistics of an Aura master is that they effect a group of squares, depending on power level = how many squares away. The problem with this is DR doesn't really have a grid set up for each room. Therefore making it difficult for the program to decide what effects what, and where. This is because all people in a room are under ideal conditions considered equidistant from each other, even though this is an impossibility.

Plus some rooms in DR can be considered quite small, while others battlefields are hundreds of squares across.

I think that might be what needs to be done. An invisible grid system needs to be added to each room in DR.

I would suggest that this grid system be effected by various things. Like if somebody enters the room, then stands by the tree, they are in an area... the tree's shadow, so to speak. Being in the tree's shadow might give some protection against rain, but also limits who can be effected.
