Staff save DC

[PsykoLad]

Anybody know if any of the following feats are applied to the save DC when using a staff?

Spell Focus
Spell Penetration
Spell Power (Archmage)
Mastery of Shaping (Archmage)
Mastery of Elements (Archmage)

No, they are not.

Any spell trigger DC=10+spell level*1.5 (This is to account for the minimum ability score neccessary to cast the spell.)

No feats, ability mods of the user, day of week synergies, etc.

In short if it has to work and requires a save? Cast it yourself.

If you're going to cast it a lot and it doesn't have a save or you could care less (i.e. magic missile, cure x wounds, fireball), get a wand or staff.

That flat DC rule is really restrictive sometimes.
