Editing Skills (section)

==Skills and D&D==
{{dnd-stub}}
[[Dungeons & Dragons]] has made use of skills throughout its lifespan. Originally, they were a semi-optional system called "Nonweapon Proficiencies", before becoming a mandatory, mainstream part of the game in 3rd edition. 4th and 5th editions have the smallest list of skills of any edition, which particularly in 4th edition's case has led to them being denounced as not properly supporting roleplay or being too combat-focused.
