Is Spell save DC calculated wrong?
Looking at Shadowhearts spells i see my spell save DC is 13 but when i hoover my mouse over it shows 8 + 3 from wisdom and +3 from proficiency.
First grade math tells me 8+3+3 is 14 and not 13
Anyone else have same issue?

What does it say as DC in combat log? That is the most interesting number.

And what level you are?

Lvl 5 at the moment. Have to check combat log next time in game.
Curious if it shows the wrong number for other people too.

My Shadowheart at level 5 has increased wis to 18 thus having +4.
K-screen meaning spellbook whatever shows spell DC value of 15 8+4+3.

Yes, sometimes the numbers are wrong. It is definitely a bug.

Checked combat log and there it is calculated correctly. Was shown as 14

8 - 4 + 3 = DC 16

Clearly the enemies have basic math difficulties... but its turing combat into their favour so psssst.

I noticed the same issue, sometimes the result doesn't match the formula.

Well, I dont think "Deadly Leap" is an intelligence ability.
According to the wiki the Bulette has 19 STR and 21 CON so I assume it is based on con:
8+5+3 =16
SO it's probably a display error.

Also here's the abilit straight from the Monster manual:

Deadly Leap. If the bulette jumps at least 15 ft. as part of its movement, it can then use this action to land on its feet in a space that contains one or more other creatures. Each of those creatures must succeed on a DC 16 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target's choice) or be knocked prone and take 14 (3d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (3d6 + 4) slashing damage. On a successful save, the creature takes only half the damage, isn't knocked prone, and is pushed 5 ft. out of the bulette's space into an unoccupied space of the creature's choice. If no unoccupied space is within range, the creature instead falls prone in the bulette's space.

Meenlocks are completely bugged

And they don't apply it when you fail :)
