<description>
<p><i>You can equip this item to “enable” it. It remains hidden from the inventory on your character sheet.</i></p>
<p>This optional rule replaces a character's proficiency bonus with a proficiency die, adding more randomness to the game and making proficiency a less reliable indicator of mastery. Instead of adding a proficiency bonus to an ability check, an attack roll, or saving throw, the character's player rolls a die. The Proficiency Die table shows which die or dice to roll, as determined by the character's level.</p>
<p class="indent">Whenever a feature, such as the rogue's Expertise, lets a character double his or her proficiency bonus, the player rolls the character's proficiency die twice instead of once.</p>
<p class="indent">This option is intended for player characters and nonplayer characters who have levels, as opposed to monsters who don't.</p>
