5E Tool Proficiencies as Skills Module

[Thegroo]

Thank you for the work

While, yes I do agree with you, the PHB does lay out the Proficiencies as 2 "categories", I personally think it wouldn't be detrimental to then break down those categories into the vehicles listed in the PHB (Rowed-vessels, sailing ships, etc).

I find it not much different than how the musical instruments are. It could have just been "string instruments", "wind instruments" etc., but alas WotC gave us specific instruments here.

But yes, I should at the least include the specifications given in the PHB. And I will!


Edit:
The mod has been updated. The vehicle proficiencies have been expanded to Land, Water and Air (for now). Will consider (if and) how to expand those out.

Awesome work! Thanks so much for sharing.

Are things like Thieves' Tools not supposed to have a Dex modifier, just the Prof modifier?

Thieves tools allow you to add your proficiency modifier to pick locks or disarm traps attemps. Picking a lock or disarming a trap is a DEX based skill roll; so in essence yes you get your DEX modifier to your thieves tools 'skill'

While it's not obvious from the layout of the PHB, tools are ability checks just like skills. The proper way to write it would be a Dexterity (Thieves' Tools) check. So yeah, it would add proficiency to your dexterity check.

Now, tools are different from skills in that they don't hold to a single ability score all the time. So the DM may call for other checks such as an Intelligence (Thieves' Tools) or a Wisdom (Thieves Tools) for certain situations, such as when disabling a wagon brake (something easy to get at but you need to know which tool to use) or when judging how likely a complex lock is to break one of your tools, respectively.

why have a extensions for skill checks with tools ? is it not just go edit on skills and add a new skill like thieve tools and set it up ? or have i misunderstood this ?

You haven't misunderstood. The author of the module has just done all that for you enabling the skills to be picked all ready set up for you.

Yep yep, this exactly.
I just made it for easy set-up. Its just a module, not an extension
