BrokenSunlight Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 So this character I have here is a flutist, and I was looking at the Voice to help him play the flute. No such luck. How about this?Performance Prodigy(substitute for a better name if you like): Any musical instrument you pick up is played like a chorus of angels is accompanying it. Make a Charisma roll: for every success, you can add another die to the perform roll.Sound groovy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aušrinė Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have no issues with it. It sounds both fun and harmless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fox Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Would the same work for other forms of performance like singing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Assuming it works the same as Mental Prodigy, then it would apply to anything done with the Perform ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Moss Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 As long as it is devoted to musical instruments, I think it's good. The Voice can be used with Singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Sounds like Bardic Gift from Aberrant Compendium by SProcket over on the EON site.Bardic GiftMany novas in the performing arts have amazed people worldwide with their works of superhuman virtuosity. A nova with this enhancement has a flair for the performing arts that’s simply incredible.System: The nova gains + [the nova’s Mega-Charisma] automatic successes on all Social rolls involving the performing arts (music, singing, dance, acting, etc.) The nova may also make a Charisma roll to have her performance evoke any emotions she desires in her audience through sheer artistic merit. This is not direct manipulation, like the Emotion Manipulation power – it works through the same psychological inputs that baseline performers have used for centuries. This enhancement costs 1 quantum point to activate, and lasts for the duration of the performance. Any emotions evoked by the nova’s performance will remain with the audience for a while afterwards, just like the effects of any other good performance.

Adrian Moss Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 That's like Natural Agitator plus Artistic Genius all rolled together. I think it is a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z017 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Yeah. I'd leave it at what BS posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Not sure it's as bad as that since it only claims the same emotional changes that a baseline good performance would/could make, but it was only a suggestion anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenSunlight Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well, I don't see why it has to work exactly like mental prodigy. It does the job and leaves room for Voice as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 p175. The VoiceQuote: The player of a nova with The Voice may apply her Mega-Manipulation bonus dice to any Arts (Singing) or Perform (Singing) rolls she makes.Voice only provides Mega-Manip bonus dice. I'd much rather have the new enhancement as it is written than The Voice. This proposed prodigy enhancement is a better numerical result.As a singer I'd rather roll perform using this new prodigy and Mega Charisma and get a potential 6 die to my perform than 1 die for my dot of mega Manip. Big numerical difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenSunlight Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Given that, Performance Prodigy might seem a little big for its boots, actually. Though I think Voice is actually too weak. I'd propose a fix for it to work in the same way as this Enhancement...Either way's good. Thoughts?

Mr Fox Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'm good either way. However, if we do decide to allow the new enhancement for singing, and I don't see why we could not. I would also say that you obviously should not be able to do both Prodigy and The Voice at the same time. Cause that would just be broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenSunlight Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well, if they don't work for the same things, that's not a problem. If they do work for the same things, agreed.I'd be willing to pay for them seperately, for musical instruments and a singing voice both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 That would be fine with me. I do think singing and instruments should be purchased separately. And for those who were not in chat just now. One of the reasons I propose having the enhancement work for singing is that until now the only way to go if you wanted to be a singer was Manip to get The Voice, but with this enhancement it would be possible to ignore Manip altogether and go straight Charisma. Some folks might not have any desire to be manipulative after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Just a note to say that the rules to make allowance for "cross-matching" enhancements if the concept fits. For example, I always thought Immmovable object should be strength rather than stamina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
