Non-Weapon Proficiencies Tables:

NON-WEAPON PROFICIENCIES TABLES: Group / Initial / # Levels Warrior: 3...3  Wizard: 4...3  Priest: 4...3  Rogue: 3...4 Monk: 1...2 "If the DM allows characters to have proficiencies, this column also indicates the number of extra proficiency slots the character gains due to his Intelligence. These extra proficiency slots can be used however the player desires. The character never needs to spend any proficiency slots to speak his native language." The above Intelligence Bonus, is used once, added to the Initial number of proficiencies. If a proficiency check is required, The Table below lists which ability is used with each proficiency.  Add the modifier (either positive or negative) listed in the Table to the appropriate ability score. Then the player rolls 1d20.  If the roll is equal to or less than character's adjusted ability score, the character accomplished what he was trying to do.  If the roll is greater than the character's ability score, the character fails at the task. (A roll of 20 always fails.) The DM determines what effects, if any, accompany failure. Non-Weaponry Proficiency Listings Info taken from Table 37 of 2nd Edition Player's Handbook. This is a list of the Non-Weapon Proficiencies published by TSR (R) for AD&D (TM) 2nd Ed. They are compiled from the  Player's Handbook , the Player's Handbook Reference series, and a few other sources. For complete desciptions of the proficiencies and how they work, please refer to the  various books themselves.  Where conflicting information has been published, the most recent version of the Proficiency is cited.  In the case of Proficiencies unique to the 1st Edition  Oriental Adventures book, attempts have been made to translate these to 2nd Ed terms. This, however, is purely this author's interpretation of the Proficiency. In the case of Proficiencies unique to the _Player's Option: Skills and Powers_ handbook, Attributes have been adjusted for those not using the secondary, derived attributes presented in that book. This document is intended as an index for quick reference only.

Dwarven Non-Weapon Proficiencies: From "The Complete Book of Dwarves": General Group: This group is available to all dwarves. It is part of their background and training. Craft Group: The craft group represents the clan-based nature of dwarf society and the long apprenticeships that young dwarves undergo before becoming adults. A dwarf may choose one craft at no cost in proficiency slots. Warrior, Priest, and Rogue Groups: Multi-classed characters may select proficiencies for each of their classes. A warrior/priest could choose from both Warrior and Priest groups. Special Background: This group is only used if the dwarf is from an unusual background, such as dwarves who live in a stronghold subject to heavy flooding during the spring thaw. These dwarves would have learned to swim to avoid drowning when their tunnels filled with water. They may also have become expert boatwrights and boat handlers.
