Bard music and anti magic field.

[Hiro Quester]

Our GM has been throwing beholders at us a lot lately. Our main enemy has a bunch of them teaming up with him. With many casters in the group, this is especially debilitating.

I'm the group's bard (bard 10 /sublime chord 2/heart fire fanner 1); my main role is in buffing/debuffing and going in to melee when required.

I read someplace that bardic music effects are not dispelled or suppressed by a beholder's anti magic field. But I can't recall where I read that. And I can't find it again. I hope it's true, but fear that I'm misremembering or misinformed.

Can anyone confirm that this is true? Ideally, can you point me to something I can show the GM to prove it?

Related question, if it's not true:
if buffs to allies normally will keep functioning for 5 rounds after they stop hearing me sing, does the buff stop immediately to those allies in the AMField, or after 5 rounds?

Thanks in advance!

Quick answer is that most bardic music is either a supernatural or spell-like ability, and an antimagic field is impervious to both of them. Sorry.

They stick around in an antimagic field in Dungeons and Dragons Online.

Otherwise you're screwed.

Ah.... DDO.... That must be what I read. Thanks for the clarification/diagnosis/disappointment.
