Focus Spells - no proficiency bonus added?


Rules Discussion


I may be missing this somewhere, but am I correct that you do NOT add your proficiency bonus to focus spell attacks, only your ability modifier?

Pretty sure every class the gets focus spells has a listed proficiency with that type of spells, such as Champion having training in divine spell attacks and divine spell DCs - which applies because their focus spells are divine spells.


You do. It says so on page 302


I found it. Thanks.

FYI - an issue is with the PC sheet on Roll20. The Focus spell tab doesn't ask for a tradition, so it only adds the ability modifier to attack rolls.

It's been brought up in their forum, so we'll see what happens.

Thanks again for the quick responses.


If you put:

@{spell_attack_rank}

Into the MISC box in the "Attack" section, and leave the Ability box as N/A, it will add your Proficiency properly.

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a shot (pun intended).


So...

I left Ability as N/A, and added @{spell_rank} to the MISC section, and that seems to work.

It uses the full spell attack roll.
