Here is a link to the Sound Striker FAQ. If the Magician has alterations, I could not find it with my librarian search-fu.

I did, nothing about either...but I am sure I've heard the sound striker's weird words ability was whimpafied.Actually, I wouldn't call it "whimpafied" - changed yes, but still very workable.
Agreed. If that's nerfed, the original wording must've been crazy...

Try to be a 'Bard beating' Fighter (not by choice.. Three VERY bad charm/dominate encounters in three running scenarios., who runs into FIVE Soundstriker Bards in an arena fight.
All the Bards made like a 25+ Knowledge (Local) roll against me. It was a good day to have a tower shield to fight defensively behind..
And I got this nice Ruby Phoenix tattoo after, as well as being the dirtiest fighter on THREE continents now.

Yes, this was one of the few erratas that was a straight upgrade.
:)
It's probably good for us to acknowledge that sometimes that happens. Not everything brought by the errata fairy is bad news.
Hmm
I wouldn't call it an "upgrade" either.
I played my 'Striker pre- and post- errata. The post one is a little less effective, but MUCH easier to roll attacks. (Before I had a clear plastic button box with a cell for each level having a d20 and a d8. Shake the box (very noisy!) to roll a Wierd Words attack and see what the results were...)

Heh. That's awesome.
Reminds of a local player who ran a two weapon crit-based fighter during Seasons 1 and 2. He had a color-coded chart of all his attacks and damage rolls, and corresponding dice for them. He'd pick up about two dozen dice, roll them all, spend a minute sorting them, and start calling out numbers for the GM to work with.

Yeah, it was "rolled" with the same motion that a Tambourine would be played with. So "Perform(Percussion)" was the skill used. But it was VERY LOUD, so tried to do it very little... "Shake - Rattle and Roll!"
