A Bard with +25 to Perform makes on average 10.5gp over the course of 8 hours, on top of getting side benefits.Īnd even then, +25 for a Sage isn't that safe, considering that a DC30 check would only succeed 80% of the time, whereas for the Bard it works 99.64% of the time.īasically, for Perform, a "trained hireling" (Skill Bonus +1) would make 3sp/day, which fits what is in the rules.Ī Footman (lowest form of guard possible), making 5sp/day is equivalent to a +3 Skill bonus (+1 rank, +2 from Ability Modifier).Ī Nurse is described as having 1 rank, and Skill Focus, on top of slight knowledge. This means you're probably looking at someone with +25ish Knowledge of 1-3 kinds. This means that for a sage to perform his task, he must be able to reliably hit DC25-30 at the very least. The check represents what you know, and thinking about a topic a second time doesn’t let you know something that you never learned in the first place. Given time, a sage can puzzle out the answer to almost any question or riddle relating to her area of expertise.Īnswering a question within your field of study has a DC of 10 (for really easy questions), 15 (for basic questions), or 20 to 30 (for really tough questions). Different sages specialize in different fields. She has studied musty books of lore and memorized rhymes, sagas, and histories. To be fair, Sage's skill check is monstrous while Bard's is very permissive.Ī sage is a master of learning. This is the most misinterpreted I've ever seen a rule ever be. This picturesque performance would net you on average 5.5sp.ĮDIT : Boy was I wrong. You're talented enough to pull a show while hiccuping the notes from the previously swallowed flute.

Luckily for you, the next DC of 21 (15+2+2+2) is literally impossible to miss. If you manage to not choke on your flute, after being distracted during your first performance, and farting loudly during the second, you will earn on average 16.5sp.īut maybe you did sneeze and swallow your flute. Those would net you 3.5gp.īut if you roll 9 or less at first, then 6 or less, you will need to hit a DC of 24 (20+2+2), which means rolling at least 4. Out of the remaining 9 rolls, 14 would let you meet the 27 DC (25+2). Those 11 results each net you on average 10.5gp (3d6, or 3x3.5) This means you have 11 out of 20 results that marks a success.

I'm not 100% confident, but I'm thinking your simulation might be wrong.
