Proficiency with a tool helps you to do something you couldn't otherwise do, such as craft or repair an item, forge a document, or pick a lock. Proficiency with a tool allows you to add your proficiency bonus to any ability check you make using that tool. Tool use is not tied to a single ability, since proficiency with a tool represents broader knowledge of its use. For example, your DM might ask you to make a Dexterity check to carve a fine detail with your woodcarver's tools, or a Strength check to make something out of particularly hard wood.

Your race, class, background, or feats give you proficiency with certain tools. Your DM may allow you to train towards tool proficiency as a downtime activity.

Vehicles

You can be proficiency with either horse-drawn land vehicles (land vehicles) or aquatic vehicles drawn by sail or pushed by oar (water vehicles). Proficiency allows you to add your proficiency bonus to ability checks made to maneuver and maintain vehicles of the relevant type.

Land Vehicles

Land vehicles are usually drawn by draft horses, mules, or other creatures that can be found on the page for mounts and animals. The costs below assume such a creature is not included.

Vehicle	Cost	Weight	Description
Cart	150 r	200 lb.	This two-wheeled vehicle can be drawn by a single horse (or other beast of burden). It comes with an appropriate harness.
Sled	200 r	300 lb.	This is a wagon on runners for moving through snow and over ice, and comes with the harness needed to pull it. It is generally drawn by one or two horses (or other beasts of burden).
Wagon	350 r	400 lb.	This is a four-wheeled, open vehicle for transporting heavy loads. In general, at least two horses (or other beasts of burden) draw it. It comes with an appropriate harness.
Carriage	1,000 r	600 lb.	This four-wheeled vehicle can transport as many as four Medium passengers within an enclosed cab, plus two drivers. In general, at least two horses (or other beasts of burden) draw it. It comes with the needed harness.

Water Vehicles

Speed. The movement speeds provided assume calm waters. Particularly slow vessels may be unable to overtake strong currents, and all vessels can ride currents to add onto their normal speed. Vehicles of Huge size and larger traveling at speed handle very slowly, and in a combat situation may even take several rounds just to accelerate to full speed, or to turn its forward trajectory onto a perpindicular course.

Capacity. If the weight in a waterborne vehicle exceeds its capacity, it will begin to sink even in calm waters.

Crew. Most water vehicles require more than one individual to operate effectively without going off course or breaking down under the elements. Only one individual needs proficiency for the whole crew to benefit. In the following table, a "skeleton crew" is the absolute minimum number of capable humanoids needed to man and navigate the vehicle. Operating with less than an "ideal crew" is particularly exhausting, as each individual is effectively working all day with little to no rest. A skeleton crew can work for 8 hours without penalty. For every period of 8 hours after the first, each individual must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or suffer one level of exhaustion. The DC of this saving throw is initially 10, and increases by 2 for every 8 hours worked after the first.

Item	Cost	Size	Speed	Capacity	Skeleton Crew	Ideal Crew	Description
Oar	20 r	—	—	—	—	—	This specifically-shaped wooden pole is ideal for pushing a raft, keelboat, longship, warship, or galley. One is usually at least 10 feet long and weighs about 10 lb., and can be used as an improvised reach weapon.
Raft	200 r	Medium	15 feet, or 1 ½ mph	400 lb.	1	1	A typical raft is about 5 feet square.

A typical raft can only survive a few journeys before falling apart. One raft weighs about 60 lb.
Rowboat	500 r	Large	15 feet, or 1 ½ mph	800 lb.	1	1	A typical rowboat is about 10 feet in length, it operated by pushing against the water with a pair of particularly small oars (which are included in the cost). It can safely carry three Medium or six Small creatures. One rowboat weighs about 100 lb.
Lion Boat	5,000 r	Large	40 feet, or 4 mph	600 lb.	1	2	A particularly small sailing ship with an overbearing sail, designed to ferry one Medium or two Small creatures at high speed.

It can carry 40 of cargo, or 100 soldiers. It can make sea voyages, as well as sail down rivers (thanks to its flat bottom).
Longship	80,000 r	Gargantuan	30 feet, or 3 mph	50 tons, or 100,000 lb.	15	60	This 75-foot-long ship with forty oars requires a massive crew. It has a single mast and a square sail, and it can carry 50 tons of cargo or 120 soldiers. A longship can make sea voyages. It moves about 3 miles per hour when being rowed or under sail.
Sailing Ship	100,000 r	Gargantuan	20 feet, or 2 mph	150 tons, or 300,000 lb.	5	20	This larger, seaworthy ship is 75 to 90 feet long and 20 feet wide and has an ideal crew of 20. It can carry 150 tons of cargo or up to 300 soldiers. It has square sails on its two masts and can make sea voyages.

It is not used for cargo. It moves about 20.5 ½ miles per hour when being rowed or under sail.
Galley	300,000 r	Gargantuan	40 feet, or 4 mph	150 tons, or 300,000 lb.	50	200	This three-masted ship has seventy oars on either side and has an ideal crew of 200.
