 == Spellcasting ability modifier ==
-Illithid powers follow the same rule as scrolls when it comes to which ability is used for the saving throws of spells that requests one (e.g. Stage Fright).
+Illithid powers follow their own rules when it comes to spellcasting ability modifiers. Several of the Illithid powers have saving throws, each with their own spellcasting ability modifiers.
-If the player has invested their levels in one class only, their spellcasting ability modifier will be the one from that class. Classes abilities are listed in the [[Spells#Spellcasting_ability|spells]] page.
+The following powers use your Intelligence modifier when casting them:
-It gets more complicated in the case of [[Multiclassing]], as the spellcasting ability modifier will be the one from the last class that has been added to the character, with a quirk: fighters and rogues will provide their ability modifier only if they are level 3 and in their spell subclass (Eldritch Knight and Arcane Trickster).
+* Black Hole
+* Fracture Psyche
+* Mind Blast
+* Shield of Thralls
-Example: {{InfoBlob|<nowiki>Wizard 5, Monk 1, Rogue 2</nowiki>}} will use the {{Ability|Wisdom}} stat for the saving throw difficulty of their illithid powers, as rogue is not taken into account here, and monk is the last class added before rogue.
+The following powers use your Strength modifier when casting them:
+* Repulsor
+The following powers use your Wisdom modifier when casting them:
+* Stage Fright
+The differing spellcasting ability modifiers for these Illithid powers indicates this could be an oversight on Larian's side, or it was intentional for specific classes as was the case for the Pre-release powers.
