When a creature is [[Proficiency|proficient]] in a specific skill, they may add their proficiency bonus to any [[Ability check|ability checks]] made using that skill, in addition that skill's associated ability score modifier.

In addition to being proficient in a skill, a creature can also have expertise in a skill. This is available through various [[Feats|feats]] and [[Classes|class features]].

=== Expertise ===
Expertise is a deeper form of Skill Proficiency, allowing a creature to add {{em|double}} its proficiency bonus to corresponding ability checks:
* [[Rogue]]s gain expertise in two skills they are proficient in at both level 1 and level 6.
* [[Bard]]s gain expertise in two skills they are proficient in at both level 3 and level 10.

* The Actor feat gives both expertise and proficiency in [[Deception]] and [[Performance]].

=== Jack of All Trades ===
A class feature granted to [[Bard|Bards]] at level 2, this provides "half proficiency" in some skills. The character adds half their proficiency bonus (rounded down) to any ability check involving a skill they do not already have proficiency or expertise in.{{NavGameplay}}
