Most ability checks have an associated [[Skills|skill]]. These rolls are often referred to as "skill checks" by the community, although they are not referred to as such in-game. If a creature is proficient with an ability check's associated skill, they may add their proficiency bonus to the results of the roll, in addition to the relevant ability score modifier. Characters with [[Expertise]] in a skill add their proficiency bonus again, effectively doubling the bonus received. | Most ability checks have an associated [[Skills|skill]].

Some ability checks are based only on the base Ability Score. A common example is exerting willpower to use the Tadpole's influence on other characters during dialogue. Checks like this have no applicable proficiency, and never add a proficiency bonus. | Some ability checks are based only on the base Ability Score.
