There is a hidden Con skill: holding your breath! 1 minute + Con modifier. No rolling involved but Con will let you swim underwater to access a city's sewer system. And you may even find an enslaved water elemental used to power the city there... Just say'n.
Not a save since there's no rolling or DC. You get the Con modifier as minutes plus 1 minute a character can hold their breath. Not really much different from other actions that require skill checks except no rolling involved. And unlike non-skilled things like normal movement, opening unlocked doors or reading known languages, etc., Con stat affects how well you do it, which varies just like most skills across a party.
@@MegaMelonSun Concentration uses saving throws, not ability checks. So if you have CON proficiency (Fighter or Sorcerer) or take the Resilient (CON) feat, you add your proficiency bonus to the saving throw against the damage you took (DC = half the damage you took [with a minimum of 10]). You could also take the Warcaster feat to get advantage on your CON saving throws to maintain concentration. Yeah, I know Barbarians get CON proficiency, too. They also can't cast or concentrate on spells when raging. So they don't really count here.
No, that's for when reading horizontally is more intuitive, but not intended. This is more No Safety Smoking First. Also yes, Taliesin is always great.
The intimidation as strenght variant rule can apply to other skills and ability scores, if your DM thinks it makes sense. It's not very common, but it could happen 🤔
i always go with the intimidate strenght ( i smash part of a wall as a threaten to do the same to his skull) or intimidate charisma ( i describe the horrible things i could do to him if he doesnt awnser my questions)
yeah, sometimes I ask arcane trickster to make sleight of hand with intelligence instead of dexterity when using mage hand, and I call it "make a sleight of mage hand check"
Try looking at it like this: Step #1: Player declares action by stating an intention (what their PC is trying to do) and an approach (how the PC is trying to do it) rather than naming a skill like they were pushing buttons on a vending machine. Look at Marvin's approach above. Step #2: DM decides whether the rules are even needed. Don't skip this step. It'll save you a lot of time trying to work out - for example - what the DC of a PC flying by flapping their arms is. Step #3: If the action could could succeed but could fail, the DM decides which Ability it falls under. Step #4: Only then does the DM bring Skills into it to decide whether a PC can add their Proficiency Bonus. As an example, a PC lifts a footpad off his feet by his throat. She demands to know where the merchant's wife is being held. Could work, but it could fail, so we need a roll. What Ability is being used? Strength. Does the action fall under a Skill? Sure, Intimidation. So the DM tells the player to roll a STR check and add their Proficiency Bonus if the PC is proficient in Intimidation. Another example that comes up on the stream is when Matt's brain gets to #3 and realises that the action requires memory and knowledge, so it's INT, but doesn't fit into any particular Skill (eg. current events). No biggie. Straight Intelligence roll. Is that helpful at all?
Don't forget the ettiquete of using skills at the table. Tell your DM what you want your character to do. The DM will tell you what skill to roll for. If two different skills could be used, your DM will ask which you prefer. Don't just say "I want to persuade this guy into telling me the secrets to the dungeon."
there is something even worse, when the players start rolling left and right, and randomly shout something to the DM. "I rolled a 17" "the fuck are you even doing? Did I tell you what to roll for?"
Generally yes, I do think it's better to handle things this way, but there is something amusing about players practically shouting "Insight check!" when they think the DM is having an NPC lie their butt off to the party :)
@@pdegan2814 I am proud of my players when they ask the question " Do I think this guy is being honest with me?" I think its disrespectful to the DM to just blurt out "Insight check!" However, as in all things, your milage may vary. It's fun when we see the CR table shout it out (especially Laura and Sam), but that is at their table. We KNOW they have respect (and fear) for Matt as DM.
It's acceptable to say 'I want to climb that wall.' Then the DM ask you to roll an athletics check. Then how you climb the wall is described.

The variant rule can be applied to all skill checks; The intimidation (Str) is just the provided example. Another example can be when performing surgery, a medicine (Dex) check can be used because of the precision needed to perform the task. It's an optional thing, but it can cause some interesting interactions, since if the rule is applied in your game, the players can mix and match as long as the DM approves of the matches made.
He mentioned the variant ruling on using Strength in place of Charisma for an Intimidation check, but this variant application of Ability/Skill combinations can apply in other situations as well. From the PHB - Variant: Skills with Different Abilities Normally, your proficiency in a skill applies only to a specific kind of ability check. Proficiency in Athletics, for example, usually applies to Strength checks. In some situations, though, your proficiency might reasonably apply to a different kind of check. In such cases, the DM might ask for a check using an unusual combination of ability and skill, or you might ask your DM if you can apply a proficiency to a different check. For example, if you have to swim from an offshore island to the mainland, your DM might call for a Constitution check to see if you have the stamina to make it that far. In this case, your DM might allow you to apply your proficiency in Athletics and ask for a Constitution (Athletics) check. So if you're proficient in Athletics, you apply your proficiency bonus to the Constitution check just as you would normally do for a Strength (Athletics) check. Similarly, when your half-‐‑orc barbarian uses a display of raw strength to intimidate an enemy, your DM might ask for a Strength (Intimidation) check, even though Intimidation is normally associated with Charisma.
7:05 Some interesting examples for the variant I've come up with: - Trying to blend in with the crowd in a party? Charisma (Stealth) check - Performing a particularly physically demanding dance? Strength or Dexterity (Performance) check - Distracting someone enough to steal their coin purse? Charisma (Sleight of Hand) check Do you have any other good ones?
why do i feel like this was not only the end of a chapter but that there's gonna be a quiz about all the episodes after this one is finished. Damnit goth dad!
No, it's an _ability_ check, there is no skill associated with initiative. However, because Jack of all Trades says it applies to all ability checks it works anyway.
For what it's worth, the Strength Intimidation is a solid example of something that could be applied to other skills as well... maybe not always, but in some situations. For example some performances are decidedly dexterous. Maybe they even involve pain and Constitution can FINALLY get in on a skill check!
@Follow the howl you can get advantage and disadvantage through means of Poison or something else that's what matters and that's why it should be in the video
wish you guys included composite skill checks, you guys mentioned if briefly with the str (intimidation) variant but to go deeper, a DM could use almost any combination (within reason).
7:11 - Actually thats wrong, since inherently all of the skills arent actually tied to any attribute, just listed by most common ones. There can be a Strength base Animal Handling check because the Totem Barb decided to wrestle a bear to show who is top dog (or bear in this case), a Dex Medicine check to see how quick a character is at treating a wound from a creature whos infected bite spreads quite rapidly through tissue or even a Constitution check of some sort like holding ones breath for Stealth or Performance to trick people that the burning coals one has to walk over for some ritual arent hurting the player despite the constant 1d4-1 damage rolling in.
Sure, but all of these are based on whether the DM chooses to do it this way. The phb only does a side mention of alternate skill checks, strength for intimidation being the one pointed out.
