Performance


Charisma Skill

Source Player Core pg. 203 

Performance measures a character’s ability to entertain, impress, and communicate through deliberate display: music, dance, spoken word, theater, streaming, propaganda, ritual choreography, or even orchestrated battlefield pageantry.

Performance is more than “doing a show.” It is:

  • Art as influence: Concerts that double as political rallies or faction recruitment drives.

  • Spectacle as weapon: Psy-ops broadcasts, intimidation displays, and morale-anchoring rituals.

  • Persona as shield: Celebrity image, holonet avatars, and curated reputations that open doors or deflect scrutiny.

  • Ritual expression of Devotion: Color-coded performances that resonate with Mana currents and aligned factions.
