You add your wisdom and proficiency bonuses to the saving throw DC (8 + proficiency bonus + abi mod) and to your attack roll if the cantrip requires an attack (d20 + proficiency + abi mod). You almost never add these bonuses to damage unless a spell or ability you have specifically says it. Nov 18, 2016 “Proficiency in a skill means an individual can add his or her proficiency bonus to ability checks that involve that skill. Without proficiency in the skill, the individual makes a normal ability check adding just their ability modifier.” Remember your proficiency bonus is the one that goes up as you gain levels.

Jun 06, 2015 Tool Proficiencies in 5th Edition Written by Chris Perkins According to the DMG (239) the proficiency bonus for tool proficiencies don’t apply when making ability checks to ascertain the quality, or to discern the origin, of a crafted items, since these checks do not require tool use. In this case it would be just the wisdom modifier added to damage. If they intend to have you add the proficiency modifier they note it. Easiest place to see the seperation is in the save DC and Attack DC for clerics were it is broken out. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. This allows you to add half your proficiency bonus to Strength, Constitution, and most importantly Dexterity checks, that you don't already add proficiency bonus. This includes Initiative checks. (not necessary if you go 2 levels in Bard) Bard: At 2 levels. For the Jack-Of-All-Trade, which gives you half proficiency in Initiative checks. Jan 24, 2015 Can someone explain to me why the predefined Human Fighter (Folk Hero) has a Greatsword with +4 atk bonus and damage 2D6+2 slashing? Where does the +4 atk bonus come from? He only has a proficieny bonus of +2. So do you need to add something else to this?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using the proficency die option in the DMG where you add an extra die to a roll instead of a static bonus. The scaling goes d4 -> d6 -> d8 -> d10 -> d12 instead of 2->3->4->5->6. Expertise would double the dice rolled.
On average, this would increase the die roll by .5. So the average roll is 11+(2,3,4,5,6) at a given proficiency level.
Reading other people's house rule of letting skills be 2d10 instead of 1d20 to reduce the swing, I wonder if it would be too much to allow Expertise to grant a +1 to the skill roll as well.
This allows the Expert to always make a DC 10 in their field. The average roll at level 20 with a 20 in the chosen stat would be: (11.5 from 2d10)+(13 from 2d12)+6 = 30.5. This is from an individual that has reached the peak of mortal ability in attribute and proficiency in a given skill. Compare to the normal variant: (10.5 from d20)+(12 from proficiency)+(5 from attribute bonus) = 27.5. A 3 point difference or about 10% improvement.
I am aware that there is Reliable talent for Rogues and I think Bards gets something like that as well that helps them as well. I see this as helping those that want to use Expertise feats to gain Expertise in other classes.
What is your experience/opinion of the variant, and/or my idea of a house rule?
