For example, the {{SmallIcon|Web Spell Icon.png}} [[Web]] spell requires you to make a Dexterity Save, whereas {{SmallIcon|Crown of Madness Icon.png}} [[Crown of Madness]] requires a Wisdom Save. | ||
An Ability Score Modifier is also used when a creature imposes a Saving Throw on another, such as by casting a spell. The Modifier affects the Difficulty Class (DC) of the Save imposed on the target, using the formula: {{code|<nowiki>Spell Save DC = 8 + Spellcasting Ability Modifier + Proficiency Bonus</nowiki>}}. This allows spellcasters to increase the effectiveness of their spells by increasing their [[Spells#Spellcasting_Ability_Modifier|Spellcasting Ability Modifier]], even when those spells do not involve Attack Rolls. | An Ability Score Modifier is also used when a creature imposes a Saving Throw on another, such as by casting a spell.

Instead, much like for Attack Rolls, it uses the caster's [[Spells#Spellcasting_Ability_Modifier|Spellcasting Ability Modifier]].
