The [[Difficulty Class]] (or DC) for Saving Throws against Weapon Actions is calculated similarly to [[Spells|Spellcasting DC]] - except the [[Spells|Spellcasting Modifier]] is replaced with either Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher. Additionally, base DC is 10. Each Weapon Action also grants its own inherent bonus DC that isn't listed anywhere,<!-- LARIAN! --> but most frequently it's +2. Certain Weapon Action also uses a '''Hybrid''' DC<!-- LARIAN! -->, which allows for a user's [[Spellcasting Modifier]] to be used instead.
