Dice rolls: Difference between revisions

For saves against specific spells and conditions, the spell or condition in question determines which Ability Score is used to make the save.  For example, the [[Web]] spell requires you to make a Dexterity Save, whereas [[Crown of Madness]] requires a Wisdom Save.  As with most spells and effects related to poison, [[Poison Spray]] requires a Constitution Save.

Besides affecting the Saving Throws a creature makes to save itself, a creature imposing a Saving Throw on others (such as by casting a spell against them) also uses an Ability Score Modifier to affect the Difficulty Class of the Saving Throw.  This uses the formula: {{c|8 + Ability Score Modifier + Proficiency Bonus}}  However, the Ability Score used to determine this Modifier is not related to the type of Saving Throw it imposes on others.  Instead, it uses the Ability Score the creature uses to cast spells, such as during Attack Rolls.
