Each skill is based on one of the character's ability scores (Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, and Charisma).
Whenever the DM feels a character's selected skill is appropriate to a game situation, he or she will ask the player to roll ld20 against the corresponding ability score. This is called a skill roll or skill check. If the roll on the ld20 is equal to or less than the ability score, the skill use succeeds. A roll of 20 always fails, no matter how high the chance for success.
