How do I set proficiency bonus in DnD 2024 homebrew?

Hello, the proficiency bonus for my homebrew monster is incorrect; it reads as PB +3 rather than +4.

I have created the monster as a level 11 fighter and set its CR to the correct level, which is calculated based on its HP, AC, damage output, etc. However, the proficiency bonus for a level 11 fighter is +4; the bonus in DnD Beyond says +3.

Because I want the monster to correctly adhere to the DnD 2024 rules, I need to set the proficiency bonus manually. How do I do this?

There's no way to manually adjust the proficiency bonus on a homebrew monster independently of its challenge rating.

The FAQ in the first post of this thread has an item under Monsters that explains how it's calculated.

I would not describe it as an error so much as a design decision, but you can always submit a support ticket about it.

A level 11 creature's proficiency bonus is always +4 regardless of it CR. You're saying that DnD Beyond's technology limitations, which tie a creature's proficiency bonus to its CR despite the bonus contradicting the creature's level, is not an error?

With respect, I think you're getting some concepts mixed up here. Levels are something player characters have. Creatures that aren't player characters don't have levels; they have a Challenge Rating instead.

The Proficiency Bonus for a creature that's not a player character is determined by its Challenge Rating, as defined here in the Monster Manual. D&D Beyond's homebrew system uses the algorithm listed there. This is not a technological limitation; it is how the rules define how this works.
