[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 3085151, member: 14506"] How would this pan out as a house rule? Make saves simply: a con check for fortitude saves, a dex check for reflex saves, and a wis check for will saves. Then spell DC's dont scale with level. Spell DC's are 10 + casting stat. Feats and magic items would become even more useful. Iron will anybody? On the other end to improve DC's the feats would be really good. Spells become pretty weak DC-wise at high level. Hmm, how to make that work. Stat boosts alone would not be enough? My highest stat vs. one of your not necessarily highest stats is balanced. But that is where items, feats and buffs kick in the defender will have a big bonus. Change spell focus back to +2 and improved spell focus to +4? Any other fixes to this? It gets rid of the multi class save stack hike effect that is a little frustrating to me. What other areas does this affect that I am missing? [/QUOTE]
