I'd recommend self-answering, as now you've (apparently) tried a solution and reached a satisfactory conclusion. That puts you in a good position to respond to past-you's situation. To acknowledge the help of others, I'd suggest adding explicit references to their answers in your own.
Be sure to add content on top of their answers or yours will be received poorly as a duplicate answer. Talk about what worked and what didn't, including tangential stuff like how the party received it or any real life social hiccups involved.

This post has a lot of good information on it (no surprise to see @ThomasMarkov there), but I feel like it's missing something. I can't quite place what and I'm not sure I've got anything substantially different to present. Really, I just wish I'd seen it when it was posted and might have been able to move from there.

Q: Is there a RAW or optional rule for how a player could discover what type of skill check needs to be made?

I have a specific example, but while I was thinking of how to do it, I had this realization. I, as a DM, always tell my players what checks to make for every interaction, usually resulting in a conversation like this: Player: "I want to follow the tracks." Me (DM): "Okay, give me a survival check."...

Q: What are the consequences of using 1 meter in place of 5 feet?

Most distances in 5e, especially in combat are multiples of 5 feet. Similar to to the person who asked How do you deal with non-metric based systems?, I live in Europe and US customary units are unfamiliar. Contrary to some of the answers given to that question, I would like to simply treat 5 fee...
