Class trained Perform question

[chpmnkcutie]

As a bard I want to be able to sing and dance, but it lists Perform only once under the trained skills section. Does this mean I have to pick either sing or dance to be my trained skill and use the other one as untrained? Or are both of them considered trained?

Thanks.

You can pay two ranks to train in two kinds of perform.

Note that you can use the perform skill untrained.

If you want to get the +3 class bonus to both types of performance, you'll need to put a rank in each (and have perform as a class skill).

Profession, Craft, and Knowledge skills all work on a similar principle.

You can have both as class skills, like craft and profession, you must list the speciality; so it is Perform (sing) 1 and Perform (dance) 1, not Perform 1.
