Musicianship
Musicianship covers the playing of musical instruments; from a simple reed pipe to a complex stringed instrument such as a harp. Each iteration of Musicianship is applied toa group of similar instruments. A musician who can play a reed pipe can also play a flute, panpipes, or a recorder because the fundamentals remain the same. This musician could not, however, play a harp or lute.
The chief groups of instruments are as follows, though some exotic instruments might need their own category not listed here
- Bow Strings
- Keyboards
- Plucked Strings
- Strummed Strings
- Wind
A critical success indicates the musician creates music of stunning quality, elegance, or beauty. Any subsequent skill rolls, such as Influence, become one grade easier.
Failing a Musicianship roll renders a lackluster performance. A fumbled Musicianship roll results in a musical disaster. Perhaps the instrument breaks or the piece of music performed is take taken as a gross insult. The effects of such a terrible situation need to be determined by the GM but, at the very least, represent an embarrassment that could influence reputation.
