The following skills are tied to Wisdom checks and DCs.
INSIGHT (WIS)
This skill encompasses civics, criminology, current events, economics, management science, political science, popular culture, psychology, sociology, and many other social sciences as well as practical social skills such as discernment, hunches, intuition, judgment of character, and understanding of the mind and spirit.
MEDICINE (WIS)
This skill encompasses anatomy, healthcare, medicine, nutrition, pharmaceuticals, toxicology, virology, and many other medical science.
MYSTICISM (WIS)
This skill encompasses legends, mythology, occultism, philosophy, spirituality, theology, tradition, witchcraft, and many other studies of faith, religion, and the divine. It also includes practical skills such as performing magical rites and rituals and knowledge of other cultures that allows you to avoid
faux pas or taboos.
NATURE (WIS)
This skill encompasses general biology, botany, ecosystems, fungology, zoology, and many other life sciences that examine the natural world.
PERCEPTION (WIS)
This skill encompasses a character’s alertness, awareness, and perceptiveness of the world around them. Creatures that are actively hiding from other creatures make Stealth checks against the Perception DCs of those from whom they are hiding while creatures that are actively searching for something roll Perception checks against the Stealth DC of hidden creatures or object. Perception can also allow a character to see through illusions. It does not allow a character to comprehend the importance or significance of creatures or objects which are not obvious, so many other skills often serve in place of Perception when trying to find something in plain sight or uncover clues.
SURVIVAL (WIS)
The Survival skill encompasses atmospheric sciences, ecology, geography, geology, hydrology, meteorology, oceanography, and many other geosciences as well as practical survival skills such as camping, foraging, hunting, terrestrial navigation, tracking, and weather forecasting.
