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. | A contest is a special type of ability check where one creature rolls an ability check against another creature's skill.
