[QUOTE="Lichtenhart, post: 1025974, member: 761"] Lord Pendragon and Fenes already said most of what I wanted to say about the new perform better than I could. There are people who love simple rules. People that things that Perform working as Craft or Knowledge adds something to their game, because it 'should' be so. I don't think the scholar who spent ages researching info about obscure alien beings, and the armorer locked in his forge night and day to fix the Realm's soldiers' armors would say that the other one put the same effort honing his skills than he did. :) There are people that think 3e perform was unrealistic because they think it's not fair to instantly become a 'master' of an instrument. Instantly? How do a bard gets the skill points to become 'instantly' a master of an instruments? He gets them by staying there and singing in the face of the dragon, when all people in their good mind whould have stayed miles away. In real life it takes a lot of effort and pain to master an instrument. In the game it takes a lot of effort and pain to level up. Do your characters need some more effort and pain? Then why don't you show me the pain a ranger endure getting accustomed to the jungle and the tundra alike? Why don't you show me the effort a sorcerer put in identifying the same spell cast by the somber prayers of a cleric and the swirling dance of a bard? Why don't you show me the pain the young dwarven squire endured trying not to chop his own head off with his urgrosh while clinging to his last bow lesson? [/QUOTE]
