You can use Perform to sing, act, dance, or play an instrument. This is often used during social interactions or skill challenges for a wide range of effects. It can also be used to make money as a job. See Beyond the Skill Basics, for more about how to earn an income with skill checks.
The DC is dependent on the crowd and the type of performance. The average DC is 15, but if the performance is to the crowd’s tastes, the DC can drop to 10. If the crowd is hard to please or does not like the particular performance already, the DC goes up to 20 or 25.
