That's nice, Animayhem. But you may not have read the bulk of my post, where I said, in essence, "Animal Empathy and UMD could cause problems if made available to every Class; Perform, however, wouldn't cause any problems as far as I can see." The powergamers might call Perform a waste of Skill Points for non-Bards, but that's why powergamers tend to be lousy roleplayers.
