[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8469659, member: 6987520"] So, I haven't had time to read through the entire thread and my apologies if this has already been addressed. But, what you are suggesting is [I]exactly[/I] what you are supposed to to in 5E. 5E doesn't have "skill checks", it has ability checks, where if the character has proficiency in a skill, that the DM decides is applicable, they get to add their proficiency bonus to the ability check. What you were doing before is what a lot of tables do, however, because earlier versions of D&D had skill checks where you added your ability modifier. 5E swapped things around. [I]shrug[/I] Anyway, glad it is working out well for you. :) [/QUOTE]
