What is a Skill Challenge?

Skill challenges throw your players together, forcing them to focus on teamwork and find creative ways to use their character’s skills and abilities. These are used during impactful moments, like running away from a dragon, disarming a trap, or rushing toward a fight. Alternatively, skill challenges can be used in moments where special attention is needed, like solving a crime, traversing across a desert, or uncovering the secrets of some ancient mystery. In this book, you’ll find the rules to run both, so that you’ve got the right tools for any occasion.
