Perform
Main Page < Character Creation < Skills < Skill Descriptions
This skill encompasses several categories, each of them treated as a separate skill. The number of Perform categories is kept purposely finite. When trying to determine what Perform skill under which a particular type of performance falls, use a broad interpretation of the existing categories:
Perform (act)
Perform (dance)
Perform (keyboards):
Perform (percussion instruments)
Perform (sing)
Perform (stand-up)
Perform (stringed instruments):
Perform (wind instruments)
Check: You are accomplished in some type of artistic expression and know how to put on a performance. You can impress audiences with your talent and skill. The quality of your performance depends on your check result.
| Result | Performance |
|---|---|
| 10 | Amateur performance. Audience may appreciate your performance, but isn’t impressed. |
| 15 | Routine performance. Audience enjoys your performance, but it isn’t exceptional. |
| 20 | Great performance. Audience highly impressed. |
| 25 | Memorable performance. Audience enthusiastic. |
| 30 | Masterful performance. Audience awed. |
Try again? Not for the same performance and audience.
Special: You can Take 10 when making a Perform check, but you can’t Take 20.
A character without an appropriate instrument automatically fails any Perform (keyboard), Perform (percussion). Perform (stringed), or Perform (wind) check attempted.
Every time a character takes the Creative Feat, they get a +2 bonus check on checks involving two Perform skills they designate.
Time: A Perform check usually requires at least several minutes to an hour or more.
