I write hear because I need help for undestanding how to properly use ability scores.
I undestand this:
If one or more abilities are relevant in a test you modify the roll with the ability modifier (positive or negative).
If one proficiencie is relevant in a test i add the proficiency bonus.
If one skill is relevant in one test i add the skill modifier (positive or negative) and the ability modifier of that skill (positive or negative).
For example:
I have +3 strength, -1 dexterity, -1 Acrobatics and profiency playing cards (with +2 proficiency bonus)
If I want to move a heavy object i would to and strength test and add +3 to the roll.
If i want to win playing cards i would add +2 to the roll because the proficiency bonus.
If I want to do an acrobatic thing I would add -2 to the roll because I have -1 to the dextery bonus and -1 acrobatics.
I thank anyone that helps me.
You had all your examples right except the last one, the -1 to dex is only applied once since acrobatics is a dex based skill it is already included. If you are proficient in acrobatics as a skill you would add you proficiency bonus and it would then be +1 (-1)+2=+1
