[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 1629044, member: 6562"] Interesting. There's no way I'd ever allow a spell's DC to be based off of Con, though. The other physical ability scores are likewise strong enough -- okay, maybe Str is kinda weak, but Dex and Con do not need the extra boost! Here's how I'd break it down, if I were going to, which I'm not: Abjuration: Wisdom Conjuration: Intelligence Divination: Wisdom Enchantment: Charisma Evocation: Intelligence Illusion: Charisma Necromancy: Intelligence Transmutation: Wisdom Universal: Intelligence Your method for DC generation is going to be really quite high. Think about the maximum -- Spell level + (Wiz level +3) + Ability Bonus. From level 7 on up, your average wizard is going to be doing a LOT better than under the Core rules, and under the Core rules, they alreadu own high level play. So, IMHO it's just not worth doing, until you can make the DCs more balanced at both the high & low end. -- N [/QUOTE]
