Attack Rolls made with [[Weapons]] can benefit from Proficiency with the type of weapon that's being used. This kind of Proficiency can be granted by the creature's [[Race]], [[Class]], or [[Feats]] chosen when leveling up. | |||
Weapon Proficiency may apply to a specific type of weapon, like Longswords, or a category of weapons, like Martial Weapons. For example, all High Elves and Wood Elves, regardless of their class, have a specific Proficiency in Longswords, Shortswords, Longbows, and Shortbows. On the other hand, Fighters have Proficiency in the entire categories of both Simple and Martial Weapons. Clerics have Proficiency in the category of Simple Weapons, whereas Wizards only have Proficiency in Quarterstaves, Daggers, and Light Crossbows. | |||
Attack Rolls made for spells benefit from Proficiency in spell casting, which all creatures capable of casting spells have. The creature could have spell casting capabilities due to its [[Class]], or from a [[Feat]] it chose when leveling up. | |||
The lack of Proficiency in spell casting becomes apparent when you give a scroll such as [[Scroll of Guiding Bolt]] to a character that can't otherwise cast spells. Since [[Guiding Bolt]] uses an Attack Roll, but the character is not proficient in spell casting, they will have a lower chance to hit targets with the Guiding Bolt. | |||
