Proficiency bonuses

[Sckazinski]

Hi, People! I've read the playtest and the updates up to 1.6, cool.

Question about proficiency:

I was reading the boards here, and saw that the proficiency bonuses, that are listed in the book as level+(-2,+0,+1,+2,+3) got changed to (-4(found it on the updates), +0,+2,+4,+6). Where are those changes? I couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks!

That's actually not what the final version of Proficiency will be in the final game. It's +0 (not even adding level) at Untrained, then Level+2 for Trained, Level+4 for Expert, Level+6 for Master, and Level+8 for Legendary.

And it's found in a Twitch video, and is stated by Jason Bulmahn, so it's official.

They did change it at some point during the playtest making Untrained as -4, but the final version is +0/+2/+4/+6/+8, considering Untrained/Trained/Expert/Master/Legendary.

Hm... Since proficiency apply to atacks and other rolls, this will change all monster statistics too, (AC, Attack Bonuses, etc), right?

Yes, we've already seen from live play streams that those numbers have been adjusted.
