How do you rp that you can sing?

[Bryantiza]

Without other classes having access to the perform skill (well i've never been able to choose it), how do you show that your character can sing.
I have found that when my characters do sing/play an instrument people always want a perform roll, but surely bards aren't the only people with a good singing voice...they just have the nerve to sing to an audience. But if they are singing without the knowledge of anyone watching, I don't see why others can't have a good singing voice but how can you rp that you can sing if they ask for a perform roll 90% of the time...

that's actually a really good question.  a plain jane Charisma check will work, but I'd guess you'd have to have roll pretty high.

dang 3rd ed and skill restrictions

[Bryantiza]

hmm...yeah but why would charisma determine how good you are at singing?

[Wintersheart]

Unless it was for a singing competition or during a quest I don't think you need a dieroll for it. Just emote it and use it as a trait of your character.

 

Edit: If you dont have a skill you can always look at which ability it ties to and go from there. Ie. which ability score does perform use?

[lonnarin]

agreed.  The best way to RP that you can sing is by.... singing!
