Performance Skill

Performance is a Social Skill that determines how well you can do things like:

• Perform for a crowd in order to draw attention by impressing, scaring, annoying, etc.
• Poignantly orate a sermon, battle plan, inspiration speech, etc.

You can also gain a skill in Performance for more specialized skills, such as singing, playing instruments, giving psychic readings, etc. There is no core list of what types of performances there are. Rather, you should try to pick one that would be interesting, fun, and fairly niche. Consider what your character might choose at a talent show or if they had to create an attention-grabbing distraction. It should be something they are good at performing. Discuss your performance ideas with your GM to ensure that it will work well in the world and story you are playing in.

Performance types also do not have to be based on one of the Exploration Skills as its main inspiration. For example, an 'acrobatics' or 'dance' performance may be rolled with your Athleticism Skill as its Modifier if your character relies more on physicality than inherent charisma.
