Painting

Painting(General, 1)
Ability: Dexterity
Modifier: 0
A character with this proficiency is skilled at rendering images with oil, brush, and canvas. The artist can create reasonable portrayals of people, landscapes, and monsters, and he possesses knowledge of perspective, shading, and composition. These skills allow the painter to create decent works of art without a proficiency check. These simple paintings are low value affairs, regardless of size. To create true works of art or to paint a portrait, the subject matter must be observed during the entire paining process. When the painting is finished, the painter must make a proficiency check. If it’s successful, the painter has created a pretty good work of art or a reasonably good portrait of the subject. If the die roll is a natural 1, then the painter has created what some might consider a masterpiece, truly capturing every nuance of the subject being painted. If the character fails any proficiency check, then the painting is a complete failure and is worthless.
