Characters and monsters are good at various things. Some are skilled with many weapons while others can use only a few. Some are better at understanding people's motives and others are better at unlocking the secrets of the multiverse. All creatures have a Proficiency Bonus which reflects the impact that training has on the creature's capabilities. A character's Proficiency Bonus increases as the character gains levels. A monster's Proficiency Bonus is based on its Challenge Rating. The Proficiency Bonus below shows how the bonus is determined. This bonus is applied to a d20 test when the creature has proficiency in a skill in a saving throw or with an item that the creature uses to make the d20 test. The bonus is also used for spell attacks and for calculating the DC of saving throws for spells

The Bonus Doesn't Stack: Your Proficiency Bonus can't be added to a die roll or another number more than once. For example if a rule allows you to make a Charisma (Deception or Persuasion) check you add your Proficiency Bonus if you're proficient in either skill but you don't add it twice if you're proficient in both skills.

Occasionally a Proficiency Bonus might be multiplied or divided (doubled or halved for example) before being added. For example Expertise doubles the Proficiency Bonus for certain ability checks. Whenever the bonus is used it can be multiplied only once and divided only once.

Skill Proficiencies: Most ability checks involve using a skill which represents a category of things creatures try to do with an ability check. The descriptions of the actions you take specify which skill applies if you make an ability check for that action and many other rules note when a skill is relevant. The DM has the ultimate say on whether a skill is relevant in a situation.

If a creature is proficient in a skill the creature applies its Proficiency Bonus to ability checks involving that skill. Without Proficiency in a skill a creature can still make ability checks involving that skill but doesn't add its Proficiency Bonus. For example if a character tries to climb a cliff the DM might ask for a Strength (Athletics) check. If the character has Athletics proficiency the character adds their Proficiency Bonus to the Strength check. If the character lacks that proficiency they make the check without adding their Proficiency Bonus.

Skill List: The skills are shown below which notes example uses for each skill Proficiency as well as the ability check the skill most often applies to.

Determining skills: A character's starting skill proficiencies are determined at character creation and a monster's skill proficiencies appear in its stat block.

Skills with different abilities: Each skill proficiency is associated with an ability check. For example the Intimidation skill is associated with Charisma. In some situations the DM might allow you to apply your skill proficiency to a different ability check. For example if a character tries to intimidate someone through a show of physical strength the DM might ask for a Strength (Intimidation) check rather than a Charisma (Intimidation) check. That character would make a Strength check and add their Proficiency Bonus if they have Intimidation Proficiency.

Saving Throw Proficiencies: Proficiency in a saving throw lets a character add their Proficiency Bonus to saves that use a particular ability. For example proficiency in Wisdom saves lets you add your Proficiency Bonus to your Wisdom saves. Some monsters also have saving throw proficiencies as noted in their stat blocks. Each class gives proficiency in at least 2 saving throws representing that class's training in evading or resisting certain levels. Wizards for example are proficient in Intelligence and Wisdom saves they train to resist mental assault.

Equipment Proficiencies: A character gains proficiency with various weapons and tools from their class and background. There are 2 categories of equipment proficiency:

Weapons: Anyone can wield a weapon but proficiency makes you better at wielding it. If you have proficiency with a weapon you add your Proficiency Bonus to attack rolls you make with it.
