 === Weapon Action DC ===
-The Difficulty Class of a [[Weapon Actions|'''Weapon Action''']] that imposes a Saving Throw is calculated similarly to [[Spells|Spellcasting DC]] - except the [[Spells#Spellcasting Ability and Proficiency|Spellcasting Ability Modifier]] is replaced with either Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher. This is true even when the weapon uses the wielder's [[Spells#Spellcasting Ability and Proficiency|Spellcasting Ability Modifier]], such as a [[Warlock|Warlock's]] [[Pact of the Blade|Pact Weapon.]] Additionally, base DC is 10. Each Weapon Action also grants its own inherent bonus DC that isn't listed anywhere, but most frequently it's +2. Certain Weapon Action also uses a '''Hybrid''' Bonus DC, which allows for a user's highest [[Ability Scores|Ability Score Modifier]] to be used instead.
+The [[Difficulty Class]] for Saving Throws against Weapon Actions is calculated similarly to [[Spells|Spellcasting DC]] - except for four differences: firstly, the [[Spells#Spellcasting Ability and Proficiency|Spellcasting Ability Modifier]] is replaced with the [[Ability Modifier]] of either Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher; secondly, proficiency bonus isn't added; thirdly, the base DC is 10 instead of 8; and finally, each Weapon Action can grant its own inherent bonus DC that isn't listed anywhere,<!-- LARIAN! --> but most frequently it's +2. To express all this mathematically:
-<div style="text-align: center;">'''Difficulty Class = {{InfoBlob|10 + [[Strength|Strength]] or [[Dexterity|Dexterity]] + [[Weapon Actions#Melee Weapons|Inherent Weapon Action Bonus DC]]}}'''</div>
+<div style="text-align: center; font-weight:bold;">{{InfoBlob|1=Weapon Action DC = 10 + [[Strength|Strength]] or [[Dexterity|Dexterity]] + [[Weapon Actions#Melee Weapons|Inherent Weapon Action Bonus DC]]}}</div>Certain Weapon Action instead uses '''Hybrid''' '''DC'''<!-- LARIAN! -->, which allows a user to either use their [[Spells|Spellcasting DC]] or Weapon Action DC with a +2 bonus, whichever is higher.
