Perform (Charisma)
Description[edit]
The Perform skill represents the ability to entertain via a performance. Unlike PnP D&D, in DDO there is a single Perform skill.
From Update 19, it adds 1 point of Sonic Spell Power per point of skill.
The Bard class gets the most use from this skill, as it serves two additional roles for it:
- It, along with the Bard's class level, determines which Bardic Music songs the character may use. Only the character's base number of skill ranks counts for this purpose. Bonuses are ignored.
- The Bard's Perform skill + 1d20 is the Difficulty Class of the Fascinate and Enthrallment abilities.
Cutpoints[edit]
Some builds, especially multi-class bards, only need a minimum number of ranks of Perform. Here are the minimums for various abilities and enhancements:
Ability or enhancement | Source | Minimum ranks |
