@Rockin Strings Let me know if this still doesn't clear it up.

As a fighter you can choose 2 of the following skills to be proficient in: Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Athletics, History, Insight, Intimidation, Perception, and Survival. My personal recommendation for what you should choose based on what I know about your character would be Acrobatics (some fighters choose to be proficient in both Acrobatics and Athletics but most Acrobatic/Athletic checks can be substituted for the other skill as far as it goes with me being a DM), and I would recommend either Survival or Perception as the other skill. I think we have enough players with good perceptions that you would be better off choosing survival. However, you can choose whatever skills you want to be proficient in, it is your character after all. Any of the skills you are proficient in will add your proficiency bonus which is currently +2. All other skills will add your ability modifier for that skill. For the example I'm giving you below I'll assume you have chosen to be proficient in Acrobatics and Survival.

@Game Maker Acrobatics and Survival can be my chosen proficiencies but if you look here you'll see that because he's a Warlike ideal, he automatically gains Athletics. Same with her and Performance. Her chosen would be Arcana and Religion, as they were proficiencies from the AD&D 2e CS I had filled out.

The only info I used was the 5th edition PHB that as far as I know doesnt have the info you linked me to.

@Game Maker So, can I move Aramil to the character's tab? If so, what's his treasure?

@Game Maker A bit of extra research never hurt. So, I don't get the extra proficiencies from their Ideals? Or do I?

@CajunRobinHoodThe Aztecs made a form of chocolate, though they didn't have refined sugar, so I would assume it exists. It's not that hard to make, unless cocoa doesn't exist in universe.

@TheUnknowable Yeah, I know about the origins of chocolate. I just wasn't sure how close the flora and fauna of this world is to that of our own world. But in hindsight, I suppose it doesn't matter. The simile is for the benefit of those reading the post, not for the people in the RP. It makes no difference if the comparison would make sense to them.

@CajunRobinHoodOk, makes sense.

*hums to self*

@CajunRobinHood Chocolate exists in this world....I don't want to imagine a world without chocolate.

@Rockin Strings You do.

@Joshua Tamashii You can move your character to the characters tab. One moment while I find out what treasure they get.

@CajunRobinHood Chocolate exists in this world....I don't want to imagine a world without chocolate.

This I totally agree with. I mean, imagine what cavemen were missing out on.

@Joshua Tamashii You can move your character to the characters tab. One moment while I find out what treasure they get.

Thank you very much.

@Joshua Tamashii an iron holy symbol for an unknown god

@Joshua Tamashii Legit if the world ever runs out of chocolate there will be about 7-10 days per month I will not live with my wife.....

@Game MakerAt least in the RP someone can use the "create food" spell to make us 10 lbs of chocolate.

@TheUnknowable I need this spell in real life

@Rockin Strings sorry, had to laugh at the dude in the toga

I'm gonna apologize in the meantime, I didn't expect people to have such a high level of writing as I find it's hard to write more than three paragraphs at once, my writing might be a little bit bad compared to everyone but nevertheless I'll still try my hardest but I might not be as good as everyone else.
