Why don't everything scale by proficiency bonus?

[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7632373, member: 6987520"] We've never had someone use an item without proficiency for long. In prior editions, if a character got a new powerful weapon or something, they would use a Weapon Proficiency as soon as possible. I suppose in a featless game, without Weapon Master, or dipping into a battler class, there isn't any way for a Wizard to learn the longsword. If you opt for training like in XGtE, then the wizard could train to learn a longsword. Regardless of how you want to do it, there are always ways for that wizard to learn that longsword. You know, I find it funny that Elemental Adept is the only feat you can take more than once! I never even realized Resilient was a once-only thing since if any other feat should be allowed more than once, why not that? It also seems ridiculous to state a feat can be taken more than once if the description says it can when Elemental Adept IS the only one. IMO they should have just removed taking a feat more than once entirely or apply it to more than a single feat. Watching Wimbledon are you? :) I would imagine rankings to be similar to the Tiers in D&D. If you are in the top 10 or 20, you are somewhere in Tier 4. If you are in the top 250 or so, you are likely in Tier 3. If you play regularly at all and are fairly decent at least, you are somewhere in Tier 2, and if you play rarely or are just learning you are probably in Tier 1. Now, that isn't to say you couldn't have a 15th-level Tennis Player who plays rarely, those are simply general guidelines. It is feasible for a rank 60 player to beat a rank 1, just as it is possible for a level 14 character to beat a level 20. Is it likely? Certainly NOT! But, it is possible. [/QUOTE]
