"If Constitution is 12 +1 why not just say 13?"Spell save DC, and to a lesser extent, spell attack modifier. I don't know why, but I run into new players who, when they ask what that is, will happily learn to write down how to calculate it, but then re-calculate it every single time they want to cast a spell. "Eight plus proficiency bonus plus intelligence modifier" and add that all up fresh each time. It's 13, arg, just write 13 down.</blockquote>
