Building a Lvl 4 Hexblade Warlock for a campaign. Im fairly new but have done my research and have a fair grasp of how it works. However my question involves the Character sheet and I'm not sure it is accurately showing my modifiers and bonus' on my attack/damage rolls.
My character lvl4 Variant Human
Charisma 18, Cons 16, dex 14, Int 10, Wis 8, Str 8
Proficiency bonus +2
Pact of Blade, Hex Weapon, Polearm Master Feat and Improved pact weapon
weapon= Glaive
So what it shows on my Glaive when I select pact and Hex weapon boxes is
Main Attack: Hit/DC +7 Damage 1d10+5
PAM Bonus action: Hit/DC +1 Damage 1d4-1
PAM Reaction: Hit/DC +1 Damage .......... (blank)
What I think it should show: using charisma modifier +4, Prof Bonus +2, Improved Pact Weapon +1= +7 SO my hit/dc and damage should show +7 for all types of attacks with my glaive?
Please help with what it should look like, my DM, and I have been arguing what exactly it should look like.
You don't add your Proficiency Modifier to the damage of your melee attack, so the +5 for damage is correct, but the -1 damage for the bonus action attack is incorrect and should also be +5.

The main attack looks right.
It looks like the PAM bonus action attack is wrong and should be +7 to hit and 1d4+5 damage.
The reaction should be the same as the main attack.
The +7 to hit is +4 charisma modifier + 1 improved pact weapon + 2 proficiency bonus (which will go to +3 at level 5)
The +5 damage doesn't include the proficiency bonus.
The PAM bonus action specifically says that it uses the same ability modifier as the primary attack, which you are using charisma for. It's probably an oversight on DnDBeyond, since your build is pretty much the only one that doesn't use strength for those.
Thank you for the clarification. I wanted to trust the sheet but since all the attacks were showing different hit bonus' and damage bonus' i got all confused.

Awesome thanks for the reply what about the Hit/dc for the bonus attack and reaction attack?
They should be the same, +7 to hit and +5 to damage.
