If that's what he was saying, he's right. No Performance skill anywhere on Jayne's sheet. If the skill's based on Intelligence, Alertness, or Agility, Serenity's resident mercenary couldn't carry a tune if it had handles.

Admittedly, that's a symptom of a problem with the book: the movie's characters are written up as if they're beginners,with beginner skill and attribute totals ('cept for a couple of mistakes in attribute levels). I can only speak for myself, but I always thought they were a bit (at least) more capable than that, at least veteran level. Still, it's a small wart on an otherwise good RPG.
