A character's fluency bonus increases as they level up.

As a shorthand, your fluency bonus may sometimes be written a "F".

Tradecraft Fluencies

As you rank up, you get the option to take additional tradecrafts, or gain a fluency in a tradecraft you already have. A tradecraft fluency is a more tailored form of the tradecraft it corresponds to. For instance, you could be a historian with a fluency in ancient Shaloban history, a tailor with a fluency in wizard robes, or an enforcer with a fluency in intimidating homeless people. When you make a tradecraft check where your fluency is relevant, you add your fluency bonus (F) instead of your proficiency bonus (P) to the roll. The GM may also tailor the results of your check with regards to your fluency.

Game Master
You find what looks like an old pirate map.
Player
Can I try and make out the symbols on it? I'm a cartographer with a fluency in nautical directions.
Game Master
Sure thing. Roll for it.
Player
Rolls 1d20+6 because they're fluent in this and level 29.
I rolled 19.
Game Master
You recognize a lot of the markings as referring to whirlpools and sea dragons. It's your choice whether you want to avoid or go into those areas.
