Equipment - Tools

## Good Tools make Light Work

Tools may be used to assist Characters in the completion of certain courses of action. Climbing Tools for example may greatly help a Character in scaling a wall. In some case Tools are essential to complete certain goals, such as Thieves' Tools for the picking of locks.

In this section we discuss the advantages of being proficient in the use of a set of Tools and describe the Tools available in most Settings.

## Tool Proficiency

You do not need to Proficient in a set of Tools in order to use them, however being Proficient in a set of Tools allows a Character to make the most of Tools when they are available.

When you make a Skill Check and you are able to use a set of Tools in which you are Proficient as part of that Check, you may add your Proficiency Bonus to the Result of the Check.

If you already add your Proficiency Bonus to the Check (i.e. you are Proficient in the Skill being used for the Check) then you instead have Advantage on the Skill Check.

If a Check requires you use a set of Tools (e.g. picking a lock), but you do not have Proficiency in the Tools being used for that Check, you have Disadvantage on your Skill Check.
