Characters with this skill can play a variety of musical instruments. There are three fields of competence: for stringed, wind, and percussion instruments. Musicians are normally skilled with only one type of instrument, but characters acquiring the Musicianship skill for a second or third time may extend their range.
Players may choose a specific instrument, such as a mandolin, lute, or recorder for a skilled musician character, although some careers specify a particular instrument. In either case, characters will be able to improvise on other instruments within the same competence field. Characters with this skill gain a +10% modifier to Employment tests when seeking work as entertainers and to all Busk tests.
