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, in addition to Swashbuckler's Low Blow, Slap in the Face and Coup de Grace 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 |

| Fascinate | Bard 1 | 3 |
| Inspire Courage | Bard 1 | 3 |
| Skaldic Rage | Warchanter core 1 | 4 |
| Song of Heroism | Warchanter core 3 | 4 |
| Inspire Competence | Bard 3 | 6 |
| Ballad Melody: Ironskin | Warchanter tier 3 | 8 |
| Suggestion Song | Bard 6 | 9 |
| Inspire Greatness | Bard 9 | 12 |
| Song of Freedom | Bard 12 | 15 |

| Mass Suggestion | Bard 18 | 21 |
