A creature's Proficiency Bonus is added to the roll if it is [[Proficiency|proficient]] in the specific kind of attack it's making. For weapon attacks, this means having proficiency in the weapon used. For spells, it's based on whether the creature has any innate spell casting capability granted by its class, subclass, or Feats. | A creature's Proficiency Bonus is added to the roll if it is [[Proficiency|proficient]] in the specific kind of attack it's making.
