Performance + synergy bonuses (?)

[puny]

Ive been thinking about this on and off, for some time now, is there any reason to why we dont have synergy bonuses for perform skills?

Some of the possible synergy suggestions that easily comes to mind:

Comedy: Acting, Oratory, bluff, diplomacy
Acting: Comedy, oratory, bluff, diplomacy
Dance: tumble, balance, jump
All the musical perform skills: all or many musical perform skills


Writing from cellphobe so ill cut it short and eventually comewith arguments later, just felt like throwing this out into the pond of brainstorming

Just becuase we think it would make sense or does this have any sourse book backing?

It doesn't have any source backing that I know of, no.

At least SRD doesn't know of such synergies:

And well, I suppose bards generally aren't wanting for skill points to put to the likes of bluff and diplo already

It does beckon a question how are the other synergies? Canonically existing ones I don't think are yet implemented to ALFA? Many of the synergies are conditional which makes exact reproduction impossible. But we could do a blanket rule where canonical unconditional synergy is +2, canonical synergy in a common use case means blanket +1 with us, and fringe case synergy means no benefit at ALFA.

The canon synergies are already applied in the dice roller (If you have 5 ranks in tumble, you get +2 Jump, etc). The situational synergy bonuses are valid as well, just have to inform your DM when they come up.
