The [[Difficulty Class|difficulty class]] (or DC) of Saving Throws against Weapon Actions is calculated similarly to [[Spells|Spellcasting DC]], expect the relevant ability for the modifier bonus is either Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher; proficiency isn't involved; and the Base DC is 10. Each Weapon Action can also grants its own inherent bonus DC that isn't listed anywhere,<!-- LARIAN! --> but most frequently it's +2.
