I'm having a moment of stupid. Let me explain:
my Paladin has 16 CHA, giving him a +3. Being a paladin he's also proficient in charisma, which therefore (at level 2) means a +2, so, +5.
Now.. being a paladin he's also proficient in Persuasion.
What about Charisma checks in stuff he's not proficient in like Deception? does he get a +5 because it's still a Charisma check, or does the +2 only apply on generic Charisma checks that can't be pinned into Deception, Performance or other?
in other words, should my level 2's paladin (16 charisma) CHA stat read:
CHA saving roll: +5
Performance: +5
Persuasion: +5 (because the rules say you can't apply the proficiency bonus twice on the same roll otherwise it would be +7)
but doesn't that mean that the proficiency in a stat is in fact a blanket proficiency for all skills related to said stat?
or should it rather be
CHA saving roll: +5
Performance: +3
Persuasion:+5
I'm assuming it's the second case, but would like to make sure
