Proficiency Bonus
The proficiency bonus is +2 for a 1st level character. It provides a bonus to a number of actions, checks, and situations that your character may find itself in. Such as:
- Attack rolls using a weapon you are proficient with.
- Attack rolls using a trait.
- Ability checks for a skill that you are proficient with.
- Ability checks using a tool that you are proficient with.
- Saving throws you are proficient with.
- Saving throw DCs for a creature trait effect of yours.
The character type and background determine the weapons, saving throws, skills, and tools that it is proficient with. As it advances levels, the proficiency bonus will increase and will have the opportunity to gain additional proficiencies.
Level and Experience Points
Experience points (xp) is an artificial marker of life experience. As a character progresses in its life and adventures, it learns how better to avoid danger and take advantage of its best aspects.
Similarly, level is is an artificial division or checkpoint on this journey. Often, a character will gain hit points (see below) and proficiency when it gains a level.
Characters usually start at level 1 with 0 xp, and the GM awards xp for good role playing, achievements, and advancing the story.
Building Kalor
Kalor is starting at 1st level (0 xp), so her proficiency bonus is +2.
