[QUOTE="FANGO, post: 194855, member: 2368"] Actually, I would have to disagree...at least partially...with what everyone else is saying here. Perform isn't really a matter of writing good (whatever), but it's a matter of taking that (whatever) and making it sound good when delivered to an audience. I would definitely say that craft is out...although I would agree that songwriting/whatever is a "craft", it's not one in the sense of adnd. However, perform doesn't seem right for writing a poem either, for the reason given above. Profession also doesn't quite fit, but honestly I think it fits better than either of the other two. The reason for this is because wisdom seems to fit better for writing than either int or cha, because cha is more for delivery and int is more methodical-type knowledge (someone could write a good story off of knowing the various conventions of writing, but they need to have a little wis in order to give the story some "soul")...so I suppose I would just substitute wis for cha and base it off of perform ranks, either that or i would ask the pc to take ranks in writing, using either int or wis (i would ask that they use wis, though), and just treat it as a miscellaneous skill or something... sorry if this all rambled a bit, it's late and this is a strange topic, hehe [/QUOTE]
