[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6214510, member: 4937"] Creation of art is normally a function of Intelligence. Performance of art is normally a function of Charisma. I have a feat cycle that lets you switch the base ability that a skill depends on. One of them turns 3 skills, one of which is Craft, that normally depend on other abilities into Dex based skills. Understanding what the artist meant to say is a function of Wisdom. Being able to explain your understanding clearly to others is a function of Intelligence. Being persuasive is a function of Charisma. If I was going to get heavy into the creation of pieces of Literature and Art as a major part of the game, I'd probably create a subsystem that determined the success of your art off of multiple skill and ability checks, so that we could say, "You create a wordy tedious but clever work that ends up appealing mainly to academics and other artists", or "You create a best-selling work that is nonetheless derided by academics for its lack of showy craftsmanship and intellectual heft." and so forth.
