You must need incredible Dex then because my base is 124 and with a Shaman
buff it is 161, I still miss alot of notes.

My understanding of this, based on conversations with some GMs and high
level bards
as well as my own experience is that missed notes is related to dexterity,
not
charisma. It's hard to notice a difference, because it's surely just a few
percentage points, but I feel like I miss fewer notes with a grotesque mask
on than
without.
