@willigansisland: One of my favorite variant rules in D&D! You can find it on page 175 of the players handbook. Most commonly used for using strength for intimidation instead of charisma. #dnd #dndtiktok #dungeonsanddragons #dnd5e
"Lost him, nothing but a bunch of regular sized gnomes and that one large, hairy gnome; guess I'll look somewhere else"

Of course it’s performance, you’re Acting Natural 😉

Nick Walko :
i think that's using an ability variant for a skill. so like a Dexterity (performance) check or a Charisma (Stealth) check

PhysicsBasedDiceGame :
would you make your players give justification for this? I think I would, similar to the help action

Sohzhu :
So that rule talks about swapping the ability not the skill so using charisma instead of dex. Performance doesn’t matter here.

Sounds very hard to me. DC 25

I mean, it can work he acts like he's a very furry pet of one of the gnomes, just has to persuade one of them to also play the role

FarrierKevsie :
That's not quite how that rule works. You can use a different ABILITY (charisma in this case), but you still use the Stealth SKILL.

Okay so funny enough the Bugbear specifically can hide and squeeze in areas smaller than they physically could but because of their fey ancestry they can

only somewhat seen :
This is like that greentext of Sir Bearington. A bear with max disguise & bluff. A guest see through it but the guest is escorted out for being rude and calling the player a bear.

Derwitscher :
im a big fan of this rule, there is nothing better than a strength check for intimidation, since a everybody would be scared of a 6'5 barbarian With more muscles than brain cells

Jerry :
I mean run it how you feel, but the rule is the bugbear should be rolling stealth(charisma) instead of stealth(dexterity). He’s still hiding 🙈

Lazarus Hawthorn :
ill let players roll whatever they want if it makes sense for the situation. in this it'd be with disadvantage lol

Ooh the joke is that bugbears are 6-8 feet tall. Got it. Great joke.

It's pretty simple, actually... the bugbear just pretends he's three gnomes in a trenchcoat.

I personally use stealth for *hiding* in a crowd, performance for *blending into* a crowd

In this situation that DC was too low unless the PC had a good explanation to go with it

I dunno, I feel like with that context, the DM should've set the bar pretty damn high...

cody :
first of all, that's not what the wording means, it means being able to roll Intimidation with Strength instead of Charisma, not "i wanna use my highest skill to do what i shouldn't be able to do"
using performance(cha) to hide is a perfectly normal thing to do, and has nothing to do with that optional rule.

I would have probably ruled it to be a Deception check...

that's.. not how the rule works
you'd be rolling stealth, but with charisma instead of dexterity

well, I really think this makes more sense than the Bugbear using dexterity to achieve the same goal in the same scenario, though...

Boldevin :
"skill bonuses with different abilities" means you would use CHA instead of DEX for your Stealth roll. Not a different ability Proficiency

I'd say if you can explain your logic it's doable but a different DC 😉

In one campaign in in, we use Wisdom modifiers for Nature checks and Strength modifiers for Intimidation checks

they can hide in small spaces so makes sense they can make themselves seem that small
