#REDIRECT [[Abilities#Skills]]
[[File:Skills Icon.png|24px|link=]] '''Skills''' refer to certain kinds of talents a creature can be [[Proficient]] in, to gain a [[Proficiency Bonus]] on the corresponding type of [[Skill Check]].  Each Skill is also related to an [[Ability Score]], which determines the [[Ability Score Modifier]] applied to that Skill Check regardless of Proficiency.  Skills are used in [[Die Rolls|Dice Rolls]] when called for in the overworld or conversations.
 
Skills are based on different Ability Scores, for example:
The Athletics Skill is based on the Strength Ability Score.  This means that when a creature rolls for a Skill Check based on Athletics (in other words, an Athletics Check), it first of all benefits from its Strength Modifier.  If the creature is Proficient in Athletics, it additionally benefits from its Proficiency Bonus, which is unrelated to Ability Scores and is based purely on the creature's Level.

== Proficiency ==
Creatures who are [[Proficiency|Proficient]] in a skill can add their [[Proficiency Bonus]] when making [[Skill Check]]s.
 
Player characters receive multiple skill proficiencies during [[Character Creation]] at Level 1.
* Choose two to four skills based on your chosen [[Class]]. The skills available to choose from depend on your Class.
* Your [[backgrounds|background]] grants proficiency in [[Proficiency#Background Skill Proficiencies|two skills]].
* Some [[Races]] give proficiency in a skill.
** This is not always clearly indicated in the character creator.
 
 
Other ways to become proficient in a skill include:
* Some classes grant additional skill proficiencies at higher levels.
* Some [[feats]] grant additonal skill proficiencies.
* [[Multiclassing]] into a [[Bard]], [[Ranger]] or [[Rogue]] lets you choose one proficiency from the class's level one skill list.
 
=== Expertise ===
{{Expertise}} is a deeper form of Skill Proficiency, allowing a creature to add '''double''' its [[Proficiency Bonus]] when making a corresponding [[Skill Check]].
* [[Rogue]]s gain Expertise in two skills they are proficient in at level 1, and Expertise in two skills again at level 6.
* [[Bard]]s gain Expertise in two skills they are proficient in at level 3, and Expertise in two skills again at level 10.
* [[Knowledge Domain]] [[Cleric]]s gain Expertise (and Proficiency) in two of [[Arcana]], [[History]], [[Nature]] and [[Religion]] at level 1.
* The '''Actor''' [[feat]] gives Expertise (and Proficiency) in [[Deception]] and [[Performance]].
