** Creature's with expertise in a skill adds their proficiency bonus {{em|twice}}. | |||
* [[Attack rolls]] made with weapons the creature has proficiency with. | |||
* Attack rolls made when casting spells, as long as the creature has spellcasting proficiency. | |||
* Saving throws (ie. Strength saves, Dexterity saves) that the creature has proficiency in. | |||
A creature with spellcasting proficiency also adds their proficiency bonus to the [[Difficulty Check]] (DC) of any spells they cast: {{InfoBlob|8 + spellcasting ability modifier + proficiency bonus}} | |||
