Proficiencies can be granted by Races /Subraces, Classes/Subclasses, Backgrounds, and Feats. This page contains a full list of what a character can be proficient with and which benefits or penalties are related to these proficiencies.
Solasta Proficiencies
What does Proficiency with a Weapon do
Proficiency with a Weapon lets a character wield it and add Proficiency Bonus to Attack Rolls of each attack made with this weapon, which are dice rolls against the target's Armor Class to determine whether an attack hits or misses. Not to confuse with Damage Rolls which determine how much damage does an attack deal.
Unlike in SRD 5.1 rules which the game is based on, in Solasta: Crown of the Magister a character can't wield a weapon unless being proficient with it.
Nonweapon Attacks
While regular attacks are made with weapons, there are also other kinds of attacks that are related to Proficiency.
Unarmed Strikes
Unarmed Strike is an attack made with bare hands when no weapon is equipped. Same as with weapons, proficiency with unarmed strike lets character add Proficiency Bonus to Attack Rolls of each such attack. Every character is proficient with unarmed strikes by default.
Shove
Shove (Push away) and Shove (Knock prone) are special types of attacks that don't do direct damage but rather change the opponent's position.
There is no direct proficiency with these attacks. However, they use certain skills to determine if such an attack is successful or not. A character can be proficient in those skills, which in turn impacts the success of these attacks.
Spells
Certain spells are described to do magical attacks or to cause characters to make Saving Throws.
There is no Proficiency with spells, but all spells add Proficiency bonuses to their Attack Rolls and difficulty of Saving Throws against them.
