Tool benefits
Some skills use tools, this section doesn't apply to skills/specialisations that don't.

Tools provide three benefits to skill checks:
 * 1) They can allow the check to be made at all (eg. you can't fire a bow without a bow) or negate the penalty for not having the right tools (eg. crafting a tool using only ones hands and improvised tools)
 * 2) The "perfect tool for the job" and if that tool is especially well-made

Skill bonus cap
A bonus to a skill roll can never exceed +10. Bonuses eventually have so much overlapping benefit that bonuses that exceed +10 are negligible or redundant. Players can still take 10 (when they can otherwise do so ofc) so they can still make a DC of 20 without a roll and most DCs are 20 or below. It's not pointless to exceed +10 to a skill since bonuses can still negate penalties and for every +2 above +10, a bonus die is rolled with the skill check.
