[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 2530502, member: 31734"] This is not directly covered in the rules, but I assume you know that. ;) I'd say that the DC is set upon the completion of the casting of the spell. This is pretty much a requirement for many situations, so it should be the requirement for all. For an example, if a blade barrier is erected and then the cleric gets drained down to Wisdom 15, does the blade barrier disappear? After all, the cleric could actually no longer cast blade barrier. Obviously, the blade barrier doesn't disappear and the DC would be 21 (assuming the example 20 Wisdom). The same thing applies to the CLW example. The DC is set upon casting and as long as the cleric holds the charge the DC would be 16. The alternative would be to force the spell to "fizzle" when the cleric's wisdom drops below 11 (or whatever depending on the level of the spell held). As for long casting times, it would use the modifier at the end of casting. Note that if the wizard's Int drops below 14 (say injury poison and he succeeds at a Concentration check), I'd also say the spell would fail, so it seems reasonable that the DC would be the final DC.
