The proficiency bonus is a modifier that increases with [[character level]] (not class level). It starts at ''+2'', increases to ''+3'' at level 5, and becomes ''+4'' at level 9. | |||
The bonus is applied to the following rolls: | |||
* [[Ability checks]] made using skills the creature has proficiency with. (Doubled if the creature has [[#Expertise|expertise]].) | |||
* [[Attack rolls]] made with weapons the creature is proficient with. | |||
* Attack rolls made when casting spells, as long as the creature has spellcasting proficiency. | |||
* [[Saving throws]] (e.g. Strength saves, Dexterity saves, etc.) that the creature is proficient in. | |||
Creatures with spellcasting proficiency also add the bonus to the saving throw [[difficulty class]] (DC) of spells they cast, for a total DC of: | |||
{{InfoBlob|8 + spellcasting ability modifier + proficiency bonus}} | |||
