Checking : Favored soul's spell DC is based off wis?

[Question]

According to complete divine favored soul's spell DC is based off wis? Is this correct?

 

[Joker]

Yes.

The Favored Soul is MAD as hell if you wish to play him with spells that depend on DC's to be failed.

Yes, it is correct. Favored Souls have a split casting stat. Spells/day and max level is set by their Charisma, the DC of their spells is set by their Wisdom.

Spirit Shamans also have a similar split, though in their case it's the other way around.

cute pun.

A what now?

 

[hafrogman]

I assumed you were making a joke . . .

MAD

all in caps.

M ultiple
A ttribute
D ependancy

A phrase used to describe classes that need high numbers in more than one stat for optimal performance. . . like for example, 3rd ed Psionicists, or a Favored Soul who needs Charisma to cast spells and Wisdom to power them.

I thought it was quite witty.

I'm fervently against the cultivating, processing, distribution or use of humor.

 

[hafrogman]

Yeah, I figured as much from your name.

 

[Question]

Sorcs have their DC based on cha as well. Why do favored souls/spirit shamans need split attribute dependancies?

 

[Satori]

Honestly...I don't know. We've houseruled them to be Divine Sorcerers. Charisma for Spells, Charisma for DC...no reason to gimp a class by splitting the attributes.
