D&D 5E Proficiency levels; Optional rule

[RufusDaMan]

So I never liked the way how proficiency levels were done in 5th Edition, so I made this. It solves many problems I have seen people having (including elven weapon proficiencies) and it is pretty simple. I hope you guys like it.

Not bad! It's not quite how I'd handle it, but it inspired me to create a Journeyman and Master feats for my game.

 

[RufusDaMan]

Thanks Would you mind to share those feats? I'm interested

Do you still include the Expertise ability of rogues and bards? does that become +1 level of proficiency?

 

[RufusDaMan]

I think I would use it as it is, doubling the bonus.

Ask, and you shall receive!

JOURNEYMAN
You have gained increased skill with a craft or a skill, and can use it to great effect. You gain the following benefits:

• Choose a skill or set of tools. You gain proficiency with the chosen skill or tool, as well as expertise, granting double your proficiency bonus for any ability check using it.
• Increase the ability score that uses the chosen skill or tool by +1.
• When crafting mundane or magical items, you may craft them at a rate of an extra 5 gp per day.
• When crafting magical items, your character level is considered one higher.


MASTER
Prerequisite: The Journeyman feat
You have reached the pinnacle of your skill with a craft or a skill, above most others, becoming legendary in your abilities.

• Using your Journeyman feat and chosen skill, you always have Advantage on your chosen skill or set of tools.
• Increase the ability score that uses the chosen skill or tool by +1.
• When crafting mundane or magical items, you may craft them at a rate of an extra 10 gp per day, which stacks with the benefits of the Journeyman feat.
• When crafting magical items, your character level is considered two higher.
