Is there any chance that we could see barbs being able to use meditation as a way of finding other barbarians. Or communicating with other barbs who are a distance away.

sort of like.

You relax your mind and begin to meditate on the image of Barbarian...

Slowly a vision of Barbarian's location enters into your consciousness.....

[Grassland Road, Orchard]
Dwarf apple trees surround you as far as the eye can see, red stars winking in a green sea that continues in the distance until it meets the horizon. The sound of voices laughing and singing approaches distantly from the north. You also see a musk hog, a field goblin skin, a field goblin skin, and a hog hoof.
Also Here: Barbarian
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west.

*************

Then after we've formed that connection with the person. we can use some verb like Meditate Message "your words go here" to communicate with him. And the person would see something like.

The voice of *Your Barbarian* fills your head and says to you, "Your words went here".

Get it? Of course the Barbarian performing the Meditations would have to be meditating before an open flame. And for the Barbarian on the receiving end to return a message he/she would have to meditate.

Just my thoughts. What do you thinK?

that sounds like a combination of moonmagic <barbarian = Avoid !magic> thoughtcast, and the "focus" verb which already exists for bonded couples.

I agree with Schvartz, though I was trying to come up with a friendly way of saying "No Stinkin Magic!".
