The [[Difficulty Class]] for Saving Throws against [[Weapon actions|Weapon Actions]] is calculated similarly to '''Spellcasting DC''' - except for four differences: firstly, the [[Spells#Spellcasting Ability and Proficiency|Spellcasting Ability Modifier]] is replaced with the [[Ability Modifier]] of either Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher; secondly, proficiency bonus isn't added; thirdly, the base DC is 10 instead of 8; and finally, each Weapon Action can grant its own inherent bonus DC that isn't listed anywhere,<!-- LARIAN! --> but most frequently it's +2. To express all this mathematically: | The [[Difficulty Class]] for Saving Throws against [[Weapon actions|Weapon Actions]] is calculated similarly to '''Spellcasting DC''' - except for four differences: firstly, the [[Spells#Spellcasting Ability and Proficiency|Spellcasting Ability Modifier]] is replaced with the [[Ability Modifier]] of either Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher; secondly, proficiency bonus isn't added; thirdly, the base DC is 10 instead of 8; and finally, each Weapon Action can grant its own inherent bonus DC that isn't listed anywhere,<!-- LARIAN! --> but most frequently it's +2.

Certain Weapon Actions, notably [[Concussive Smash]], instead use '''Hybrid''' '''DC'''<!-- LARIAN! -->, which allows a user to either use their '''Spellcasting DC''', or Weapon Action DC with a +2 bonus, whichever is higher. | Certain Weapon Actions, notably [[Concussive Smash]], instead use '''Hybrid''' '''DC'''<!-- LARIAN! -->, which allows a user to either use their '''Spellcasting DC''', or Weapon Action DC with a +2 bonus, whichever is higher. | ||
