<ref name="srd52.186">{{pub|SRD 5.2}} p.186.</ref> If {{5e24lc|You}} have proficiency with something, you can add your {{5e24|Proficiency Bonus}} to any {{5e24|D20 Test}} you make using that thing. A {{5e24lc|Creature}} might have proficiency in a {{5e24lc|Skill}} or {{5e24lc|Saving Throw}} or with a {{5e24lc|Weapon}} or {{5e24lc|Tool}}. 

<ref name="srd52.8.9">{{pub|SRD 5.2}} p.8-9</ref> {{5e24|Character}}s and {{5e24lc|Monster}}s are good at various things. Some are skilled with many {{5e24lc|Weapon}}s, 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 {{5e24lc|Creature}}s have a {{anchor|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 (described in “{{5e24|Character Creation}}”). A monster’s Proficiency Bonus is based on its {{5e24|Challenge Rating}}. The Proficiency Bonus table shows how the bonus is determined.

This bonus is applied to a {{5e24|D20 Test}} when the creature has proficiency in a {{5e24lc|Skill}}, in a {{5e24lc|Saving Throw}}, or with an {{5e24|Equipment|item}} that the creature uses to make the D20 Test. The bonus is also used for {{5e24lc|Spell}} attacks and for calculating the {{5e24|DC}} of saving throws for spells.

===The Bonus Doesn’t Stack===
<ref name="srd52.8.9" /> 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 {{5e24|Charisma}} ({{5e24|Deception}} or {{5e24|Persuasion}}) {{5e24lc|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 {{5e24|Half|halved}}, for example) before being added. For example, the {{5e24|Expertise}} feature 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===

===Saving Throw Proficiencies===

===Equipment Proficiencies===
<ref name="srd52.8.9">{{pub|SRD 5.2}} p.8-9</ref> A character gains proficiency with various weapons and tools from their class and background. There are two categories of equipment proficiency:

'''{{anchor|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.

'''{{anchor|Tools}}.''' If you have proficiency with a tool, you can add your Proficiency Bonus to any ability check you make that uses the tool. If you have proficiency in the skill that’s also used with that check, you have Advantage on the check too. This means you can benefit from both skill proficiency and tool proficiency on the same ability check.

===Proficiency Bonus in Ability Checks===
