[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 606310, member: 1656"] Yes. It's not just Bards, it's anyone who takes the skill... I don't have a problem with it. I have a fighter with Perform as a class skill via Cosmopolitan. She considers herself a dancer. Sure, she's just as good at singing and playing the harp etc as she is at dancing... but the female line of her family have been great dancers as far back as anyone can remember, and her deity puts great store by dancing, etc - if someone asks her "What do you do?", she replies "I dance." But if she has to, she can handle drumming or playing for someone else who wants to dance as well... ----- One possibility if you want to house-rule it without making it impossible for bards to do more than one thing is to treat it like a Ranger's Favoured Enemies - each time you add a Rank to perform, you choose a new type with a +1 modifier, and each of your other types' modifiers go up by one. It does mean you need to keep them listed in order or with the numbers beside them, though : Perform (6 ranks) Dance +6 Ballad +5 Play Drums +4 Whistle +3 Tightrope Origami +2 Make Animal Noises +1 -Hyp.
