It lists what you can do, but at what terms, what actions? What is the DC for various new things that you can do?Is proficiency enough or you need to "fish" for expertise somehow? Will 12 dex be enough or should I not bother until I have 16 at least?And yes, some DCs are written later on in PHB and DMG, but they NEED to be in skill description because that is the place where you decide will you pick this skill or that skill. Better to double up on some rules than to place it in bad location for character creation.what are perception penalties for distance? Is it some fixed -X penalty per fixed distance or you just get disadvantage at certain distance, and what distance that is?</blockquote>
