Can you guys pLEASE do a Video on TOOLs and TOOL PROFICIENCIES, TIER LIST - BEST WAYS TO APPLY EACH - WHAT KIND OF CAMPAIGN EACH MIGHT BE MOST VIABLE IN etc. etc. ??
There's nothing like hiding the fact that you have a vehicle proficiency until the party desperately needs it 😎
theres nothing like hiding that ur a necromancer until a eerily familiar zombie shambleling along side you.
When would that happen tho?
Oh my god, i have been searching for so long, to understand an easy way how the hell you put the humbers into skills and nobody was able to explain it to me in a manner that made sense ! Thank you two ! THANK YOU SO MUCH !
In terms of skills, I am rather happy they went with a more condensed list than the previous editions and also that the numbers don't have to be huge to matter :) Good video, Dudes!
This channel has halped me so much.
But has it helped you?
I have a question do I get to pick all skills or only a few or like what?
Another great video Dungeon Dudes! How about something explaining passive skill checks in the future? I always see questions about these (particularly in regard to the "passive score being the minimum result" a character can achieve on a skill check.
It comes up time and time again, and to be honest, I am not sure I am even doing it right after 3 years.
Keep up the great work guys!
As far as I can tell something like a passive perception check is described as your PCs awareness when not actively looking for someone/something else. A passive score is 10+ the ability modidier (in this case Wis)+ proficiency only if you are proficient in that skill. You don't roll for a passive perception check it's just always whatever the score is.
Player: I make a Perception Check with a nat 20!
DM: You perceive, next player?
You guys explain it so well, and simple, you have saved, my, ass. Thaaaaank you.
Coming from Pathfinder it's very easy to understand the 5e system!
I'm really psyched about my Bard leveling up so I can make more money.
My CHA is 20 so I have an ability modifier of 5.
I wasn't proficient in Intimidation so with Jack of Trades I boosted it to a 6.
College of Lore, I can boost that to 8 if I pick Intimidation as one of my new 3 proficiencies.
Expertise: Double your prof score for any ability you are pro in. Boom, 10+ Intimidation
modifier.
I also caught a belt of returning and bought a spear. I also have a mod. 3 for strength.
Did I also mention that I am a 7 foot tall Firbolg?
Thank you for your videos.
A lot of the links to your next videos are missing. Like I'm still confused about some proficiency bonuses like how it applies to combat but I don't know which video you put that in. It would be nice if the players handbook had a whole sub chapter about proficiency bonuses because for me it's the most confusing think coming from 3.5.
I would have liked a few examples based on attacks and classes cuz I'm still confused how and when they're used.
rules question on this, if you are using the ua skill feats and playing a class that has expertise such as bard, how would that work out if you took expertise in a skill you had the skill feat for would your proficiency double twice?
No. You can't double a doubled proficiency bonus.
@@DungeonDudes got it thanks
Sorcerer with a light crossbow and a ton of dex+ draco heritage=a dm whose dealing with a 16 AC unarmored sorcerer
How many can skills you be proficient in? What dictates that?
Class, race, and background. It varies depending on these 3 things.
@@ignisshadowflame1027 and Feats can give a lot of Skill Profs
And if you want to add weapon, tool, and language proficiencies to that list, you can get as many as you have the necessary (down)time and money to acquire.
I am a level 1 High Elf Bard,I noticed my passive wisdom (perception),does that add to my wisdom outcome?
My proficiency bonus is +2, and my wisdom stat is at +2,forgive me if this question is silly,the last time I created a character was 3e.
No choosing to put points in skills? Sticking with 3.5e then. Thanks
Is it just me or would it be cool if the DMliar DM a game for them and we got to watch
Theres a sh- whole list of skills.
The title is wrong. Using skills and proficiencies. There is hardly anything about choosing here at all
If you aren't proficient with tool you can't use it.
I loathe the way 5e did skills and feats, totally limiting the way you can build your character, and took out the uniqueness of classes,
Kelly looked incredibly dopey in that first second after the intro.
I mean, why even make this comment? Does not help anything whatsoever.
@@zyxyzgy it doesn't need to
I don't know how I feel about 5e Skills. On one hand they are way more straightforward, and since everything is lumped into a smaller pool of skills the likelihood of a particular skill being called for is higher. However it is kind of sad when most class & race combos are only going to give like 4 things.
It is a much smaller pool, but I think adding Tools to the list really expands your options, especially if you use the Tool expansion rules from Xanathar's Guide to Everything.
Dungeon Dudes agreed. Plus while the nostalgia of assigning skill points is there, I will admit to a decent amount of cursing every level when I had to figure out exactly where to put each individual point. In the end never really feeling satisfied by my choices 😂
After playing a decade of 3.5 and pathfinder, I'm sick to death of players with no strength, or no intelligence, maxing out skills which they should never have been able to gain.
Also consider that the DCs are much lower in general, meaning you won't be practically blind (in comparison with your party members) without having +15 on Perception or won't be a gullible fool if you don't max out Insight. Also the bonus is relatively small, so having a -1 or a +4 doesn't make that much difference anymore - although it gives an obvious "advantage" to the skill check
