sorc/wiz dc

[Luigiana]

the spell save dc for a spell is 10 + spell level + int (if wizard) or cha (if sorc)
what happens if u multi class sorc/wiz?
will you then apply both int and cha to ur dc?

 

[Dandu]

No.

 

[Luigiana]

No.

do u have a source where that rule is explained? cause i need to show it to my players..

Spells derived from the sorcerer class have DCs based on Charisma. Spells derived from the wizard class have DCs based on Intelligence. This is explained in the class descriptions.

General rule: 10 + SL + relevant ability

Relevant ability varies based on what you are casting as. You can only be casting a given spell as one class even if you are multiclassed (for instance, you either memorized the spell or are spontaneously casting it).

The DC for your wiz spells is 10 + SL + Int
The DC for your sorc spells is 10 + SL + Cha

Just to make sure:

If you multiclass Sorcerer/Bard, you also apply your Cha bonus to the spell's save DC only once, not twice...

 

[irdeggman]

The reason being is that you cast spells from that classes' spell list (that the character knows).

A wiz/sorc can't spontaneously cast a wizard spell - he can only spontaneously cast spells that he knows as a sorcercer and he can't use his wiz slots to cast spells he knows as a sorcerer but not as a wiz.

Basically there will probably be spells that the character learns twice - once as each caster.

Each spellcasting class a charachter has is treated separately for pretty much all purposes, caster level, DC, etc.

Note that because of this basic rule that if a wiz/sor was also a specialist wizard he could learn spells from his forbidden schools as a sorcerer.

From the SRD

The creator must have prepared the spell to be scribed (or must know the spell, in the case of a sorcerer or bard) and must provide any material component or focus the spell requires. If casting the spell would reduce the caster’s XP total, she pays the cost upon beginning the scroll in addition to the XP cost for making the scroll itself. Likewise, a material component is consumed when she begins writing, but a focus is not. (A focus used in scribing a scroll can be reused.) The act of writing triggers the prepared spell, making it unavailable for casting until the character has rested and regained spells. (That is, that spell slot is expended from her currently prepared spells, just as if it had been cast.)

 

[RUMBLETiGER]

From levels of Sorcerer, you have a Sorcerer spell list.

From Levels of Wizard, you have a Wizard spells list.

When you cast a spell, even if it exists on both lists, you choose one of those lists to cast off of. On your piece of paper of your list of available spells, you have to choose one.

Whichever class you choose to cast the spell from, that's the DC you play off of.
