 ==Proficiency Bonus==
 Characters have a proficiency bonus determined by [[level]]. Monsters also have this bonus, which is incorporated in their stat blocks. The bonus is used in the rules on [[ability check]]s, [[saving throw]]s, and [[attack roll]]s.
 Your proficiency bonus can’t be added to a single die roll or other number more than once. For example, if two different rules say you can add your proficiency bonus to a {{wis}} saving throw, you nevertheless add the bonus only once when you make the save.
