[QUOTE="Systole, post: 5883492, member: 93930"] RAW you can make a case for it either way. It's an Acrobatics [B][U]check[/U][/B] using the Performance [B][U]skill modifier[/U][/B]. [INDENT]Versatile Performance: He can use his bonus in that skill in place of his bonus in associated skills. When substituting in this way, the bard uses his total [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/perform"][COLOR=#0000ff]Perform[/COLOR][/URL] skill bonus, including class skill bonus, in place of its associated skill's bonus, whether or not he has ranks in that skill or if it is a class skill. Boots of Elvenkind: [SIZE=2]These soft boots enable the wearer to move nimbly about in virtually any surroundings, granting a +5 [/SIZE][URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/basics-ability-scores/glossary#TOC-Competence-Bonus"][SIZE=2]competence bonus[/SIZE][/URL][SIZE=2] on [/SIZE][URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/acrobatics"][SIZE=2]Acrobatics[/SIZE][/URL][SIZE=2] checks.[/SIZE] [/INDENT]Frankly, I'd say that LPF should skip the whole lawyering of the RAW and decide whether items that affect the Performance skill or the base skill or both should apply to Versatile Performance. In order words, with this particular example, should +Acrobatics boots work, or should +Perform-Dance boots work? Or should either one work? The important thing to remember is that if you choose Perform-Dance, you're essentially getting three magic items for the price of one (+Acrobatics, +Fly, and +Perform-Dance). That's not necessarily a terrible thing given that class skills are supposed to make you better, but my inclination is that three-for-one would be a bit on the overpowered side. I'd allow Acrobatics boots to add to Versatile Dance when applied to Acrobatics checks. [/QUOTE]
