Skills and Ability Checks | The Rules | How to Play DnD 5e | Web DM

Welcome to our first vid in our SKILLS and ABILITY CHECKS series! Skills are fundamental to 5e DnD, but they're also confusing and can cause issues! We're starting with a look at how they're SUPPOSED to be used in Dungeons and Dragons. In later episodes, we'll talk about variant rules, skill challenges, and how we would redesign skills, proficiencies, and ability checks.
