The bards version of friendship is quite a bit different from the loremasters, Zwartia. The way it was for you before, it was near undefendable, hence the term \"overpowered. \" The bard, afterall, needs to accomplish several things before the friendship takes effect. You are still ahead of us in that department as splashing cannot be defended and the kiss (even with balance) is unavoidable and rejecting takes equilibrium.

If anything is annoying, its these \"counter-whines\" to every new change and/or improvement. Now get over your self-pity, learn to deal with it and most importantly, quit complaining.
