I know it maybe just me, but I'm finding it difficult to see a place on the start up page for the compendium where there is a easy link to see the information describing the skills section of building a character. Its not even in the options of making one. I know that picking skills is a part of making a character and perhaps it maybe found somewhere other than "monster skills" but it would be nice to read up on a skill entry with just a press of the button. Again correct me if I'm wrong but I speed read over things. Please forgive me if I'm wrong.

You'll find it here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/using-ability-scores#UsingEachAbility

Alternatively you could just roll for perception, try your luck with some stealth, or try a lil persuasion.  ;)

Hopefully Sub isn't trying to impose his intimidation on you with all this information. :P

You would be able to tell with a simple insight check.

It would be nice to see it spelled out SubsistCyber. I know to the common person that knows there way around these things would know all the bells and whistles of making a character, but to a new audience such as I have seen they might miss some important features just by doing exactly what I did, Not generally research the presented material. But Even a link directing to the skill descriptions under the ability page from the main compendium page would be great.

Unfortunately this is the format that the Basic Rules use for the skills and at this time DDB must use that format when allowing users to access the basic rules.  No need to cast charm person on us, we're already under the command to help. 

One thing that will help is when the character sheet stuff for phase 2 comes out so you can see the skill list in short form too to go with the ability scores, using them section. For testing we are limited to SRD/Basic Rules information, but maybe there could have been a way to put the skills list the way it is short formed on some of the free pdf sheets out there showing each skill and what ability score is associated to it. The rules expand beyond the actual skills list about how to use each ability check for other things too that don't fall in a specific skill created like acrobatics or perception.

I see you all are having fun with the tool tips 🙂

I could always tooltip the ones in my response, but figured that was not the point for my post. ::grins:: This is only a test....

But a good point that quick list of the skills also in the compendium would be nice besides on the char sheets when they come out as a quick reference in the rules too. The fun thing is we will have lots of linkage to everything on the sheet for cool tooltips. Now you do need to make them autosize the screen size because on a desktop if I put my browser at half my wide screen to have another thing on the other half when working with compiling ideas and write ups, they don't work if the width is not there. Right now they have a set width they must have room for or poof, not there anyway. I can't attest to this on mobile, only by testing resizing of a desktop window. :) ((and yes I brought this up again, but I know a lot of things are in the works based on comments probably including this tooltip issue that annoys me LOL))
