**Special:** You can take 10 when making a Perform check, but you can't take 20.

A character without an [[Equipment|appropriate instrument]] automatically fails any Perform (Music) check he attempts. At the GM's discretion, impromptu instruments may be employed (such as an upside-down garbage can in place of a drum), but the performer must take a -4 penalty on the check because his equipment, although usable, is inappropriate for the skill.

Every time a character takes the [[Creative (Feat)|Creative]] feat, he gets a +2 bonus on checks involving two Perform skills he designates.

**Time:** A Perform check usually requires at least several minutes to an hour or more.
