Perform

Perform (Cha)
The perform skill represents the ability to entertain via a performance. Unlike PnP D&D, in DDO there is a single perform skill. Bardic Music requires ranks of perform in order to be able to use it, for example 3 or more ranks in perform is required for a Bard to use the Fascinate song ability. .

It is highly recommended that bards keep their perform skill maximized. There seems to be no use for this skill for other classes.

* Note: Actual skill ranks are required, not total mod.
