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, 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 Perform or 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.
