The
dance skill
covers a character’s ability to move rhythmically to music or song, in either a
free-form or choreographed manner. Dancing can be an important part of the
rituals practiced by many cultures as well as something done for enjoyment or
to entertain others. Performing a carefully choreographed dance routine, such
as a dance used as part of an important religious ritual, requires making a dance skill
check against a difficulty number determined by the gamemaster using the
Difficulty Number Scale. When used to entertain or otherwise evoke a reaction
in an audience, even if that audience is just your dance partner, dance uses the
rules given in the performance arts skill
to determine the quality of the performance and reaction of the audience. Dance only
covers a character’s ability to perform a dance, not design one; choreographing
a new dance routine is covered by the artist
skill instead of dance. Dancing
simply for personal enjoyment does not usually require a skill check.
