What sort of skill point should I assign to a musical intrument?

[Heidi]

Good morning!

Several on my team have or want to have musical instrument goals. Do other people have these? If so, what sort of skill points do you assign to them? Do we even have an intelligence skill point set [intelligence is different from wisdom]. This is a really big deal, since most of my team are in some sort of educational program as well, and if they get a certification or pass a wicked-hard test, I think they are right to set it as part of their life goals, but it is more an intelligence achievement, right?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I'd go with a split between wisdom and charisma. Because, let's be honest, you are way more suave while playing an instrument. Or dexterity since your fingers and mind will be more agile.

Yeah, it is more INT when learning the skill, but since we don't have that category you kinda have to lump it in with something (wisdom/charisma/dexerity etc)

intellegence is the ability to learn, which is more a natural trait. Wisdom is stored knowledge and knowing what to do with it. For learning a instrument, I'd probably do WIS and CHA, coupled with DEX if you're a kluts like me and need to learn how to move properly.

I did an instrument goal last challenge and did the points as WIS. I think WIS encompasses the INT stat for these purposes.

depends.

mine for this go-round are probably going to net out at dex, con, and cha.

dex because it's a failure goal

con because i need to practice a ton

and cha because i need that to actually practice.

My gut feeling would be WIS, CHA, and DEX. I know most of my life goals tend to fall into WIS and CHA, compared to my diet/fitness goals.

Take ranks in Perform(musical instrument) and use it to make money when you're in town. Make sure you're a bard though, or else perform will be a cross-class skill and will take 2 points for every rank.
