I repeat a question asked by NielsenE because I have not found an answer, but I would also like to understand if "Spellcasting Ability Modifier" and "Spellcasting Modifier" are the same thing as I actually assume they are.
The question was: 'Spellcasting modifier' versus 'spellcasting ability modifier' are they the same thing? Are they different, if so what is the spellcasting modifier? Examples:
Chill touch: negative damage equal to 1d4 plus your spellcasting modifier
Daze: mental damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.
I think the two terms are meant to be the same, but haven't seen it addressed.
