: Ability checks are also common during dialogue, where some responses require an ability check to determine the outcome. Examples include using Charisma-based skills like [[Persuasion]], [[Deception]], or [[Intimidation]] to influence others, or Intelligence-based skills like [[Investigation]], [[History]], or [[Religion]] to determine or remember facts. | : Ability checks are also common during dialogue, where some responses require an ability check to determine the outcome.

: A contest is a special type of ability check | : A contest is a special type of ability check where one creature rolls an ability check against another creature's skill. Rather than rolling, the opposing creature uses a ''passive skill'' value given by {{InfoBlob|10 + skill bonus}} with {{Advantage}} on the relevant skill check adding 5 or {{Disadvantage}} subtracting 5. The passive skill value serves as the [[Difficulty Class]] (DC) of the skill check. | ||
:: An example of this | :: An example of this with {{SAI|Shove}}. The creature attempting the shove makes an [[Athletics]] check versus the target's passive Athletics {{em|or}} [[Acrobatics]], whichever is higher. | ||
:: Another example is with {{SAI|Hide}} where the sneaking creature makes a [[Stealth]] check against an enemy's passive [[Perception]] while in their cone of vision to avoid being detected. | |||
