| Jun 18, 2018 at 22:22 | comment | added | aschepler | Another little point: Although Proficiency Bonus is listed in the class tables, this is just a convenience for single-class characters. The Proficiency Bonus is actually defined on PHB p. 15 based on total character level. | |

PJRZ, Yes cantrips follow separate rules, it just made me hesitant to agree that Class Level is the default :) Being under Class Features does heavily imply Class Level though. | |
| Jun 18, 2018 at 14:21 | comment | added | Gandalfmeansme | @Fifth_H0r5eman They finally made that explicit! In the 6th printing of the PHB, in the section on multiclassing and "Spells Known and Prepared" (p. 164) an Errata states that “If a cantrip of yours increases in power at higher levels, the increase is based on your character level, not your level in a particular class.” | |
| Jun 18, 2018 at 13:46 | comment | added | PJRZ | @Fifth_Hor5eman: But spells follow their own rules (and cantrip caster level was answered in a sage advice). I was talking more about the fact that class features are listed in the class progress table; even if its a single feature that 'upgrades' at certain levels, this will still be noted at each relevant row in the table. | |
| Jun 18, 2018 at 13:10 | comment | added | Fifth_H0r5eman | @PJRZ, While I agree that in this case it seems clear that Class Level is intended, Cantrips do not explicitly state that they use Character Level, despite doing so: "The spell creates more than one beam when you reach higher levels..." | |

added something about the class features table
|
| Jun 18, 2018 at 12:02 | comment | added | PJRZ | May also be worth pointing out that this, like the other examples mentioned, are listed in the "Class Features" section, alongside the class progression table which displays "Expertise" in the 6th level row. I think that makes it clear that, if anything was based on character level rather than class level it would say so specifically. | |
