What are the musical instruments for? (Besides playing music with) The ones's I've seen in Strings Attached have no stats, or anything special that I can see yet cost 140g.

What good is Spellcraft for? It tells you what spell is being cast I know. Otherwise what good is it for?

Spellcraft gives you a bonus to saving throws against, well, spells.

Divide your total spellcraft bonus by 5 and round down to get the bonus to your saves.

From what I have noticed, when you use a Bard Song while holding a specific instrument, you make the sounds of that instrument instead of whistling.

For every five ranks of Spellcraft, you get +1 saves to all spells. I believe it's just the ranks and doesn't consider any bonus to skills provided through items or feats. It's a pretty beneficial skill in that regard. Of course, as a roleplay element it's also good.

Instruments usually have some useful barderific stats on them. If they don't, I guess they are for roleplay, kind of like the hats and dresses in the other stores.

About spellcraft - good question! I've seen modules where it's sometimes good to open up new conversation options.

Isnt spellcraft used in upping your concentration roll when defensive casting or similar??

Shouldnt that be enough? The basic whistle gets a bit boring after a while.

I'm sure eventually there will be some looted instruments that have additional stats, but the ones we can buy are simple, and I have them all.

There already are a few. The Canaith Mandolin is in NWN2, so it should drop in Das2 eventually. There's also a magic flute in the rat caves, although its power seems to be limited to that same area.

Of course not. No one sees the Wenderkazoo!

I wonder why, I wonder who; when or what is a Wenderkazoo?

I hope we get to play a didgeridoo!

(Oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka)

In the bad backlands of Australia
Many years ago,
The aborigine tribes were meeting,
Having a big pow-wow.

(Oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka)

"We got a lot of trouble, Chief,
On account of your son Mack."
"My boy Mack? Why, what's wrong with him?"
My boomerang won't come back.
"Your boomerang won't come back?"

My boomerang won't come back,
My boomerang won't come back,
I've waved the thing all over the place,
Practised till I was black in the face,
I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race,
My boomerang won't come back.
