Skilled. You have proficiency and expertise in the Performance skill, and any Performance skill checks you make are rolled with Advantage.

Inspired. You gain proficiency in one type of artisan’s tools. Anytime you use artisan’s tools to craft an object, it takes half the amount of time, costs you half the amount of gold and resources, and the final product is always of masterwork quality causing it to be worth double its normal value.
