-====== Artistry (INT/WIS/CHA) ====== 
  
-Like Craft, Perform, and Profession, Artistry is actually a number of separate skills. You could have several Artistry skills, each with its own ranks. Artistry a skill about a specific niche which could fit within the scope of a Perform or Craft skill. Like Craft, an Artistry skill is focused on creating something. However, what it creates is not necessarily a physical object; it could be a pattern or blueprint for an item, or a better method for crafting a type of item. Thus, an Artistry (musical composition) check could be used to create a new song, but the important act of creation is the song itself, not the paper on which it is written or even the performance. An artist is not necessarily a skilled performer, though she might be. An artist’s province is the creation of ideas and concepts, and the realization of those ideas in a way that can be enjoyed by others and contribute to the broader culture of the arts. An Artistry skill, like it's sister skill, [[priority:skills:lore|Lore]], must be narrow in scope - below are some examples. As a general rule of thumb, an Artistry skill may do something covered by a [[priority:skills:perform|Perform]] or [[priority:skills:craft|Craft]] check, but must be far more specific.

-You may use Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma or any given Artistry skill. Once you choose which mental ability score applies to a given Artistry skill, it may only be changed via Retraining.
