Blue: Fantastic options, often essential.Red: Bad, useless options, or options whichĪre extremely situational.RPGBOT uses the color coding scheme which has become common among Pathfinder build handbooks, which is simple to understand and easy to read at a glance. Previously, these skills had to compete with important core skills like Spot or Search and it was a major investment to be a Carpenter, for example.
The great part about this change is that in 5e it’s easy to get an extra tool proficiency or two to round out your character for roleplay purposes. If you’re familiar with previous editions, particularly D&D 3.5 and PF1e, you might notice that tools serve a similar function to Craft, Profession, and some Knowledge skills. You should instead use this as a jumping off point for even more creative uses for combining tools. Particularly, Synergies grant Advantage when two related proficiencies overlap, and this is by no means an exhaustive list of such bonuses.
In this guide, we’ll be going over the majority of tools to find some interesting uses, like an expansion to the idea put forth in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything starting on page 78. Tool Proficiencies are the same way, but tend to be overlooked and glossed over because of their supposedly narrow focus. In 5e D&D, Skill Proficiencies represent an abstract set of knowledge that can be applied to ability checks.
