Crowd Working (Proficiency)

==The Complete Bard's Handbook==
Almost every bard is familiar with the ways of a crowd. However, those who take crowd working learn all the tricks of the trade. Such bards are skilled at observing crowds and adjusting their performances accordingly.
Any bard who is using a special ability to adjust the encounter reactions of a crowd (e.g., influence reactions) can make a crowd working proficiency check. If this check is successful, the bard can alter the reactions of the crowd by two levels instead of the typical one.
If the bard or his group is soliciting money from a crowd, a successful proficiency check indicates that the bard is particularly appealing and the crowd willingly donates twice as much money as it normally would (or conditions improve one category if using the performance rules earlier in this handbook).
==The Complete Book of Humanoids==
Characters with this proficiency are familiar with how to handle crowds. They are skilled at observing crowds and adjusting their behavior accordingly. Humanoids who normally have this skill include all types of humanoid entertainers, from bards and fortune tellers, to acrobats and pit fighters.
This skill also can be used to adjust the encounter reaction of a crowd. A successful proficiency check will alter the crowd's reaction by two levels (or convinces them to donate twice as much money to the entertainers as they normally would).
