[QUOTE="Emongnome, post: 403412, member: 7061"] My intent wasn't to make most every spell have a higher DC, but to somehow simply acknowledge a more powerful spell cast by a higher caster. Here is an idea: DC=10+ caster level/6 + 1/2 spell level + ability modifier The ability modifier stays the same and overall makes the DC's for spells lower. a 20th level caster casting a 9th level spell would normally be 10+9+ability but now would be 10+3+4+ability, two lower. Of course, the lower level spells would be slighty better, perhaps balancing it out. Just something to account for the spellcaster level without affecting the overall DC's too far. Granted, this makes lower level casters even harder to play, and I don't know the effect on epic level casters, so maybe it isn't the best idea. I certainly don't want a formula so complicated that it becomes a differential equation to solve. All the points are well spoken, and the prevaling thought is that to make this work without upsetting the balance would require a great deal of work. [/QUOTE]
