The [[Difficulty Class]] (or DC) for Saving Throws against Weapon Actions is calculated similarly to [[Spells|Spellcasting DC]] - except the [[Spells|Spellcasting Modifier]] is replaced with either Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher. 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''' DC, which allows for a user's [[Spellcasting Modifier]] to be used instead. | The [[Difficulty Class]] (or DC) for Saving Throws against Weapon Actions is calculated similarly to [[Spells|Spellcasting DC]] - except the [[Spells|Spellcasting Modifier]] is replaced with either Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher.

When attempting to beat a Difficulty Class, the die rolled is a {{D20}}.
