Artistic Ability

Artistic Ability(General, 1)
Ability: Special
Modifier: 0
Player characters with artistic ability are naturally accomplished in various forms of the arts. They have an inherent understanding or color, form, space, flow, tone, pitch, and rhythm. Characters with artistic ability must select one art form to be proficient in. Thereafter, they can attempt to create art works or musical compositions in their given field. Although it is not necessary to make a proficiency check, one can be made to determine the quality of the work. If a 1 is rolled on the check, the artist has created a work with some truly lasting value. If the check fails, the artist has created something aesthetically unpleasant or just plain bad. Characters should make ability checks against the most appropriate ability for the artistic ability they have, such as dexterity for sculpting or charisma for poetry.Artistic ability also confers a +1 bonus to all proficiency checks requiring artistic skill (musical instrument, pottery, painting etc.)and to attempts to appraise objects of art.
