Tarquin whistles in red
Does this mean his music is magic? Is Tarquin, in fact, a Bard?
His answer to "are bards underpowered" is along the lines of earthly power: with their knowledge of dramatic convention, they should be ruling the world by now. (Like Tarquin.) He thinks they are low on real-world political power. (Unlike Tarquin.) Nale went out of his way not to be one.
Is there a moment where someone else whistles and it's not in black?The Giant says: Yes, I am aware TV Tropes exists as a website. ... No, I have never decided to do something in the comic because it was listed on TV Tropes. I don't use it as a checklist for ideas ... and I have never intentionally referenced it in any way.

Sabine whistles in red. I don't think she has levels in bard, but as a fiend, her ability to make music might be considered supernaturally amplified (even if there isn't anything in the rules to support that).

Re: Tarquin whistles in red
Roy, who most certainly does not use magic, whistles in yellow.

Re: Tarquin whistles in red
I think that it simply denotes his Evil alignment. It's a bit like foreshadowing, really. Like when a bad guy sneaks up behind you and dramatic music plays, that just hints at the fact that he's the bad guy who's sneaking up on you. There shouldn't be anything magic about it. If you could make the whistles of an Evil guy any color, wouldn't YOU make them red?

Re: Tarquin whistles in red
Also, Crystal whistles in red, so I think that I was correct in saying that it refers to the alignment.

Re: Tarquin whistles in red
I don't think so, because Belkar whistles in blue
There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

Re: Tarquin whistles in red
But he's Chaotic Evil.
Yeah, a character probably whistles/sings in whatever color looks best.

Re: Tarquin whistles in red
So what does it mean when an evil choir sings in blue with blue notes?

Re: Tarquin whistles in red
Maybe it's not the alignment of the character, but the nature of the tunes they are whistling.

Re: Tarquin whistles in red
Remember back when each alignment had its own language? Surely they have their own songs as well!

Re: Tarquin whistles in red
Just for fun here are some notes and their colors.
When Elan sings his notes are in green.
Elan's mom sings with green notes.
Belkar whistles and sings with dark blue/indigo notes. Yet here it is in blue.
Roy whistles in yellow.
Sabine whistles in red.
MITD whistles in purple.
The cherubs in heaven sing with green notes.
For some reason when Elan is captured he sings with white notes.
Crystal sings with red notes.
Jenny plays with yellow notes.
The evil choir sings with dark blue/indigo notes similar to Belkar.
The dancing knights have white notes.
For some reason the entertainers in the arena have brown notes.(heh brown notes)
And Tarquin whistles in red.
Does anyone see a pattern here?Bread, blankets, and books are a lot cheaper than bullets, bombs, and bodies - Todd Tennison

Re: Tarquin whistles in red
Not much of one. Elan and his mother have the same colored notes (but the cherubim in the LG afterlife do also). Sabine & Tarquin are both LE, but I'm pretty sure Crystal is CE. Roy, who is LG, goes yellow, but so does Jenny, who is likely his polar opposite at CE. And Belkar & Elan aren't even consistent in their note color.
I think it's mostly random.

Re: Tarquin whistles in red
It's obviously the pitch of the note. Light is about 41 octaves above middle-C. Tarquin whistles in red because the note is G#....
No I don't believe that either.
