===Perform ([[SRD:Charisma|Cha]])===

Like [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]], [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge]], and [[SRD:Profession Skill|Profession]], Perform is actually a number of separate skills.

You could have several Perform skills, each with its own ranks, each purchased as a separate skill.

Each of the nine categories of the Perform skill includes a variety of methods, instruments, or techniques, a small list of which is provided for each category below.

* Act (comedy, drama, mime)
* Comedy (buffoonery, limericks, joke-telling)
* Dance (ballet, waltz, jig)
* Keyboard instruments (harpsichord, piano, pipe organ)
* Oratory (epic, ode, storytelling)
* Percussion instruments (bells, chimes, drums, gong)
* String instruments (fiddle, harp, lute, mandolin)
* Wind instruments (flute, pan pipes, recorder, shawm, trumpet)
* Sing (ballad, chant, melody)

=====Check=====

You can impress audiences with your talent and skill.

======Fanatic======

The attitude of fanatic is added here. In addition to the obvious effects, any NPC whose attitude is fanatic gains a +2 morale bonus to [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] and [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] scores, a +1 morale bonus on [[SRD:Saving Throw|Will]] saves, and a –1 penalty to [[SRD:AC|AC]] whenever fighting for you or your cause. This attitude will remain for one day plus one day per point of your [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] bonus, at which point the NPC’s attitude will revert to its original attitude (or indifferent, if no attitude is specified).

Treat the fanatic attitude as a mind-affecting enchantment effect for purposes of immunity, save bonuses, or being detected by the [[SRD:Sense Motive Skill|Sense Motive]] skill. Since it is nonmagical, it can’t be dispelled; however, any effect that suppresses or counters mind-affecting effects will affect it normally. A fanatic NPC’s attitude can’t be further adjusted by the use of skills.

=====Action=====

Varies. Trying to earn money by playing in public requires anywhere from an evening’s work to a full day’s performance. The [[SRD:Bard|bard’s]] special Perform-based abilities are described in that [[SRD:Class|class]]’s description.

=====Try Again=====

Yes. Retries are allowed, but they don’t negate previous failures, and an audience that has been unimpressed in the past is likely to be prejudiced against future performances. (Increase the [[SRD:DC|DC]] by 2 for each previous failure.)

=====Special=====

A [[SRD:Bard|bard]] must have at least 3 ranks in a Perform skill to inspire courage in his allies, or to use his countersong or his ''[[SRD:Fascinated|fascinate]] ''ability. A [[SRD:Bard|bard]] needs 6 ranks in a Perform skill to inspire competence, 9 ranks to use his ''suggestion ''ability, 12 ranks to inspire greatness, 15 ranks to use his ''song of freedom ''ability, 18 ranks to inspire heroics, and 21 ranks to use his ''mass suggestion ''ability. See [[SRD:Bard|Bard]]ic Music in the [[SRD:Bard|bard]] [[SRD:Class|class]] description.

In addition to using the Perform skill, you can entertain people with sleight of hand, tumbling, tightrope walking, and spells (especially illusions).
