Hey folks. I have a quick question about XGtE.

About a year ago, Remedeez create a free module called '5E Tool Proficiences as Skills.' It took all the toolsets in the DMG and created them as skills. Here's the post introducing it.

XGtE expanded on the information on the DMG. XGtE has additional checks with success DCs. This is an additional level of stuff that isn't included in Remedeez mod. Interestingly, this is along the same lines as using traps as NPCs, which was done in XGtE.

Any chance XGtE is going to be updated to include these tool proficiencies as skills?

Thanks.

No. The tools proficiencies aren't skills per se; they are just additional methods of using skills. You can easily add these in to a character's skills sheet anyway.
