All creatures capable of casting spells through their Class, Subclass, or Feats | The Proficiency needed to gain the Proficiency Bonus is spell casting. All creatures capable of casting spells through their Class, Subclass, or Feats have this proficiency. If a creature that can't normally cast spells uses a Scroll or other item to cast one, it will also receive the Proficiency Bonus on the Attack Roll or Saving Throw DC of that spell. | ||
In case of threats that don't originate from a spell caster, such as a trap that just sprung or a poisonous apple you just ate, the game sets the DC based on how serious the threat is supposed to be. For example, a rather ineffective trap could have a DC of just 5, whereas a very powerful one could have a DC of 15. A slightly spoiled tart could impose a Constitution Save of DC 5, whereas a potent venom from a snake could impose a DC 15 Constitution Save on the hapless victim. | In case of threats that don't originate from a spell caster, such as a trap that just sprung or a poisonous apple you just ate, the game sets the DC based on how serious the threat is supposed to be.
