| | |
| '''Difficulty Class''' (or DC) is a number that must be matched or exceeded to achieve success when rolling for [[Checks|Ability Checks]] or [[Saving Throws]].
| |
| | |
| When attempting to beat - called a [[Saving Throw]] - a Difficulty Class, the die rolled is a {{D20}}. The modifiers applied to this roll vary, depending on the circumstances and the type of check.
| |
| | |
| The Difficulty Class (DC) is determined by the source of danger.
| |
| | |
| === Danger DC ===
| |
| In scenarios such as traps, the game chooses an appropriate Difficulty Class, depending on how serious the danger is. This includes single-use items such as elemental arrows or throwables.
| |
| | |
| === 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.

| <div style="text-align: center;">'''Difficulty Class = {{InfoBlob|10 + [[Strength|Strength]] or [[Dexterity|Dexterity]] + [[Weapon Actions#Melee Weapons|Inherent Weapon Action Bonus DC]]}}'''</div>
| |
| | |
| === Spell DC ===
| |
| For the Difficulty Class of a [[Spells|'''Spell''']] that imposes a Saving Throw, the DC is determined by the creature's '''[[Spells|Spellcasting Ability Modifier]]''', using the following formula:
| |
| | |
| <div style="text-align: center;">'''Difficulty Class = {{InfoBlob|8 + [[Proficiency|Proficiency Bonus]] + [[#Spellcasting Ability and Proficiency|Spellcasting Ability Modifier]]}}'''</div>
