EFUSS "Entertainment" Skill

Egon the Monkey · August 26, 2009, 11:46:42 PM

Since there's no way to cross-class Perform, it would be a real RP asset for chars who are trained in acting or music (but without bardic magic) to have access to an "entertainment" skill. This would be used in situations where a perform check would be appropriate, so non-bard PCs aren't stuck with just their CH bonus.

I think this is a very good suggestion, and agree entirely.

I do think this has some merit. I'll leave it open a while for others to disagree.

I like this suggestion a lot. It'd be great for storytellers especially.

Oskar Maxon · August 27, 2009, 08:02:41 AM

Yes.

TheMacPanther · August 27, 2009, 09:03:13 AM

I think it is a damn good idea.

Agreed, it would provide a great RP tool and give another way to fill out a character with a formal education outside of Lore.

Then we can get rid of perform!

NO WAY THERES NO WAY ANY OTHER CLASS THAN BARDS COULD EVER BE GOOD AT TELLING A STORY OR A JOKE OR SOMETHING

Yup. You can't cross class it, and can't make an untrained check using loot, only CH. a skill that can go up to 10 points would be on par with crossclass skill points and loot. It would represent non magically enhanced unlike Bard Perform, but skilled entertaining and performing.

Thomas_Not_very_wise · August 27, 2009, 10:40:25 PM

Possibly add points to perform as well.

Ommadawn · August 27, 2009, 11:39:16 PM

You could make it like other secondary skills, so a select number of EFUSS points boosts perform by one point. I like this idea though, as a boost to RP and character diversity.

Actually, you can make an untrained check using loot. My current has done it. But that is beside the point, I like the idea.

This is some serious bullshit. There is a bard class for a reason, and this entertainment skill would just cheapen it. If you want to be an artist, I think you should man up and take bard levels.

I agree with Calculor.
