Singing
A beautiful voice can help with Singing, but with the right training, anybody can sing a tune, be it a heroic epic, a song of praise in the temple, or a lullaby.Check: SGC/CHA/CON
Applications: Bard’s Ballad, Chorale, Choral Singing, Recital
New Application: Two-Voiced Singing (see page 169).
Encumbrance: no (maybe with a helmet)
Quality: the hero’s singing is so good that the audience applauds loudly.
Failed Check: the hero forgets lyrics or performs rather poorly.
Critical Success: the hero’s singing is a topic for discussion for many weeks. If the hero wanted to earn money, award at least twice the normal amount. For QL, competitive checks, and cumulative checks, SP = 2xSR.
Botch: the hero mangles the tune badly or messes up the rhythm. The song is torturous to audience members, who boo the performer loudly.
