When making a brief performance (one song, a quick dance, or a few jokes) you use the perform action. This action is most useful when you want to prove your capability or impress someone quickly. Performing rarely has an impact on its own, but it might influence the DCs of subsequent checks against the observers, or even change their attitudes, if the GM sees fit.

When you use the perform action, it gains one or more traits relevant to the type of performance. The GM might change these depending on the circumstances, but the most common performance-based traits are listed below.
