Something came up in the Doomsday Dawn forum, and I wanted to move it here for those who were avoiding spoilers:
Are there ability checks in this game? Can you be asked to make a simple Dexterity check, based on anything in the rulebook? If so, based on the rules on page 290, this check would be Untrained, correct?
There are only two occurrences of the phrase "ability check" in the rulebook, both in relation to armor penalties:
"Clumsy This armor’s Dexterity modifier cap also applies to Reflex
saves and to all Dexterity-based skill and ability checks that
don’t have the attack trait."
There are no occurrences of this phrase in Doomsday Dawn (although there are situations that might normally call for one).

I'm pretty sure there are not.

It would be, yes.

Looks like they're leftovers from before ability checks were cut out.
