A list of all defined DCs from the core books (ie not adventures).

[PhoenixPhyre]

Presented mostly without comment as a resource. These have been grouped together by ability score and proficiency allowed (if any). Tool proficiencies have had abilities associated with them based on the general description of the ability scores and associated checks; they're not generally canonically fixed to those abilities. My comments (to make them make sense) are in parentheses. Things with (?) seem off to me, but I'm just reporting what I found in the books.
