Perform

You give a short performance: one song, a quick dance or a few jokes. It's most useful for proving your ability or impressing someone fast. A performance rarely does much by itself, but the GM may let it change the DCs of later Diplomacy checks against the audience, or even their attitudes. Some performances need more than charisma: if you don't meet the demands of the art or the audience (dancing with a low Reflex, or orating with a low Intellect, say), the GM may give you a penalty. Performances gain traits from their type: acting or comedy (Auditory, Linguistic, Visual), dance (Move, Visual), playing an instrument (Auditory, Manipulate), oratory or singing (Auditory, Linguistic).
