[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 3107887, member: 20308"] Good, it sounds like you are going to have a group of friends to play with. Oh, and welcome to the boards. As to your "spell save" question, there are two sections on the character sheet that I can think of. The first has already been mentioned, and that is the area for your Fortitude, Reflex, and Will saves. Those are calculated by looking at the class table, finding what level character you are, finding the appropriate Base save number, and adding the associated attribute modifier to it (Constitution for Fortitude, Dexterity for Reflex, and Wisdom for Will). The other area is for determining the DC (Difficulty Class) for the spells that you cast. That is determined by the following equation: 10 + Spell Level + Casting Stat modifier (Wisdom modifier for Paladins). So, for example, if your Paladin was of high enough level to cast a 1st level spell, the Save DC would be: 10 + 1 (1st level spell) + 2 (15 Wisdom is a +2 modifier) = 13. If the spell allowed a Reflex saving throw, then your target would have to roll a total of 13 or more on their Reflex saving throw to save against the spell. Is that a bit more clear? This is a personal request from me, there is no policy on this board requiring you to comply, but could you take the time in your posts to use proper punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and grammar? It makes your posts look more intelligent, much easier to read, and generally makes people more receptive to answering your questions. Also, avoid using '1337' speak if you would. I'm not trying to be a pain in the butt, just giving some friendly advice. [/QUOTE]
