Spell difficulty class, or DC?

[MythTrip]

This is not clearly defined in the in game encyclopedia....I cast a daze spell which has a will saving throw....the difficulty class (DC) listed on the daze spell was 12.....but nowhere is the determination of DC defined. Is it attached to the spell? Or is it derived from the character stats? thanks everyone!!!

So the target makes a will saving throw, which is a d20 roll adding any modifiers to the total. (Wisdom, items, etc). Check the combat log for the results of the roll, it'l be there.

DC for a spell's saving throw is 10 + spell level + caster ability modifier. So for daze (a level 0 spell) that's 10+0+2 = 12.

i.e. Your inteligence (wizard) or charisma (sorc/bard) is 14 or 15

[Finrod]

The spell DC is 10+ spell level (0) + characteristic modifier (+2 having 14/15 in the caster attribute) + spell focus feat (if any, in that case 0).

Take into account that in order to cast a spell from a given level, your caster characteristic must be 10+spell level. By level 17/18 you will want to have at least a 19. (You gain 1 point every 4 levels to increase attributes).
