Hi all, Just to state, im not a musicaian, or even an entertainer, but had a great thought today, and thought i'd put it to you guys to see what you think.

What if Musicians got the ability the "craft" cd's or something like them, that they could sell. These Cd's would have a limited number of uses, say 10-15 and could be used by combat types while in campsites in the field to heal small amounts of wounds for just that player onthe 3 mind stats.

I think this would give musicians a source of income as im pretty sure they dont make much unless they pick up another Prof as well, it would give players a means to heal mind wounds in the field without an entertainer present and would add something different to the game.

Iknow what your thinking, people would just buys cd's and not come to cantina's anymore. I dont think this will happen, if this is implemented right, and the cd's dont heal massive amounts of wounds. i.e: if someone has a lot of wounds, it should be a better option for them to go to a cantina rather than use cd's. Also they would still have to come to cantina's to get BF healed.

What do you guys think?

Oh my gosh, I just posted something very similar to this. I apologize, I should have posted here, but I didn't see it in time.

I'm also suggesting that musicians be able to craft the CD-player that the CD's get played on. And that the CD that is created is tied in, stat-wise, to the abilities of the musician. The higher your level, the more it heals.

Great minds run in similar ruts.

Heh, and I just posted a reply in the other thread quite similar to the one I'll post here again. In fact, I've probably posted a version of this reply in a dozen such threads.

The devs have read proposals like this before, and to date they haven't shown much interest in anything that undermines the traditional function of the camp or cantina. My one hope is that they *might* be amenable to a craftable CD or holostim that does something *other* than heal BF and mind wounds. Holocron once said they were considering mind heals for entertainers. Why not let us make recordings that heal mind damage (not mind wounds or BF) in the field? That wouldn't undermine cantinas at all, and it would give us a new function -- and ameliorate the current situation, in which mind damage is almost unhealable unless you've got a CM along.

yeah this has been brought up a lot previously. I wouldnt mind making a "recording" item for just healing mind damage in battle like a small stimpack for the blue bar. i think wounds and bf should remain as they are though. if that were implemented CM should lose the ability to heal mind dmg. doesnt really make sense that they have it now.

I like the idea.. but ONLY.. I repeat.. ONLY if the "cd" item made can ONLY be used inside cantinas, or other disignated structures.. I don't want them to be used as an interference to the rare population of musicians out there that AREN'T macro grinding towards the FSCS.. However, having such "cd" that can be placed on vendors inside cantina's, or whatnots would help cure the problem of being in ghost towns where no entertainer is present at that time.. I'm sure if cd's were in the ballpark of 500 - 2,000 credits EACH, one time use, no one would use theirs, when a actual performer is present.. But if there is no such performer on stage, then one can use there 1 charge "cd" and heal themself just like a wound pack..

BTW.. a 'cd' would not heal ALL wounds, but only a number of wounds just like a wound pack, the better the 'cd' the more wounds you can heal at one time.. cd's can be made to heal either BF, mind, willpower or focus, but NOT all at once.. So technically there would be 4 different types of 'cd's available..

This would NOT interfer with the musician profession, and I would make it so that these can NOT be used in camps either.. We want people to be in town at times, therefore make these cd's only usable inside cantinas, theaters, and hotels.. only..

if something like this were done, i think it should be that only entertainers can use them to heal others.

and should scale like med use does for stims/wound packs/etc.

This idea sounds good, sort of a juke box. I think master musician should be able to craft a holo-recording that is a one time use buff. Shorter duration and less effective than a real buff.
