<ref name="srd52.176">{{Cite Pub|SRD 5.2|pages=176}}.</ref> An ability check is a {{5e24|D20 Test}} that represents using one of the {{5e24lc|Ability|Six Abilities}} — or a specific {{5e24lc|Skill}} associated with an ability — to overcome a challenge. See also <!--chapter 1 -->(“{{iplink|D20 Test}}s” and “{{5e24|Proficiency}}”).<br />
<br />
<ref name="srd5.2p6">{{pub|SRD 5.2}} p.6</ref> An ability check represents a {{5e24lc|Creature}} using talent and training to try to overcome a challenge, such as forcing open a stuck door, picking a lock, entertaining a crowd, or deciphering a cipher. The {{5e24|GM}} and the rules often call for an ability check when a creature attempts something other than an {{5e24lc|Attack}} that has a chance of meaningful failure. When the outcome is uncertain and narratively interesting, the dice determine the result.<br />
