I'm not saying it's forbidden, and for sure some checks required are ability, but when looking at the rules and the section about ability check, they are fairly well categorised and the skill is almost always mentioned in the core books as well as in the published adventures.Don't get me wrong, I like the principle of being free to chose, but let's face it:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">At least 90% of the time, the ability used with a given skill (and vice versa) will be the standard one.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">5e was designed to be "newbie friendly" which means a simple game where the link ability-skill is fixed.</li> </ul>And this has proven beneficial for the game, while still not preventing people to play the way you like it by expanding the game just a little bit.</blockquote>
