Performance

Passive

A Performance is an occurrence that lasts at least 5 minutes that grants a boon to its Audience. To start a Performance, state “Attention Audience”. The Performance may include an introduction or explanation, but the large majority of it must consist of the user of the Skill doing one of the following: singing a song; reciting poetic verse; giving a speech; playing an instrument; artfully serving a snack; demonstrating a dance; or legibly sketching the audience. Alternatives may be allowed at Plot Team discretion. Performances and their content are always in-genre; avoid using real world pieces or ceremonies in favor of making your own or using an established in-world option.

At the start of the Performance, the user may designate up to 5 observers, including themselves, who are close enough to very clearly sensorily observe them as the Audience. Additional uses of the Skill may be expended to designate up to 5 additional observers as Audience for each use expended. Players can only engage in one Performance or be in one Audience at a time. At the conclusion of the Performance, the user of the skill chooses one of the following phrases to activate a benefit:

• May we be hale. This ability grants the Audience an increase of 2 maximum Body Points. A character may increase their maximum Body Points through being Audience by up to 6. These points can be healed to maximum by normal healing means. In all respects, this ability is as if the character was of a higher level with the extra Body Points, and must be noted on their Battle Board as "+[Number] Maximum Body." This benefit lasts until the next LP.
• May we wake refreshed. Audience may sleep for one hour and be healed to maximum Body Points; this sleep must occur within two hours of witnessing the Performance. This sleep must occur in game, but the player may choose to go out of game for the duration, such as to play a Cast role; if choosing to go out of game, the player should still return to their appropriate sleeping place, such as a cabin or tent, before going OOG. Players cannot "sleep" in a public place if choosing to go OOG.
• May magic be amplified. The user of Performance Touch-Casts a single Spell from memory on each member of the Audience, while expending only a single Spell Slot. Spells cast through this cannot be Absorbed; the Spell Slot is considered consumed upon completion of the first Touch-Cast, and the Touch-Casts must be immediately back to back and may not be held for longer than 3 seconds.

The user and all Audience members must maintain Focus throughout until the Performance is concluded. Audience members who lose Focus cannot gain the called benefit. If the entire Audience says "No Effect," this Skill may be Meditated. Performance may be Recharged.
