[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 6373092, member: 14506"] I kind of agree with this. I think it may be important to at minimum list the other skills to show what is possible for the character to try and accomplish. For old hands at the game this will not be needed but sometimes players want to stare at their sheet to get an idea of what they want to do in any given moment. Listing the skills and perhaps checking the 4 or 5 they have might be good. The other thing is tools you have to list those as well. I am torn as to if they should be listed completely though or they should be a write in. You want to give the players the options to try new things and if it is out of sight, it very well likely is out of mind too. That said I can appreciate for PBP and for DMs stats using this format would be preferred. Huge stats not friendly in those formats. Proficiency bonus +3 18 STR +4, Save*, Athletics 18 DEX +4, Save, Acrobatics, Sleight of Hand, Stealth 18 CON +4, Save 18 INT +4, Save*, Arcana*, History*, Investigation*, Nature, Religion 18 WIS +4, Save, Animal Handling, Insight, Medicine, Perception* (17), Survival 18 CHA +4, Save, Deception, Intimidation, Performance, Persuasion* Tools: long list with asterisks or not... List all skills and place a check on the ones you apply your Proficiency Bonus to. This would be doable for me. [/QUOTE]
