-===== Skill and Proficiency Catalogue =====
+====== Skills and Proficiencies ======
 Characters receive various skills from their Family Backgrounds, Class and Archetypes, and sometimes from the Special Features deck.   Additionally, all characters can choose any one skill they desire when they reach second level.  Proficiencies express ability to use various arms and armor and are gained from Class and Archetypes.

 __Group Skill Use__:  If multiple people are trying the same task (searching for secret doors with Perception, Sailing a Boat, Tracking Varmints, etc) the character with the best score rolls the check, but gets advantage from the help of the others. That concept works in reverse as well. For example, in a group stealth check.
