New D&D character sheet makes understanding skills easier (and also somehow much harder)

D&D orc looks confused at map with their fellow adventurers.

Outside of combat actions, skill checks are probably one of the most important gamified elements of Dungeons & Dragons, and the new D&D character sheet implements a deceptively simple change that seems to be embracing this reality.
