Wizard School Abilities

[Kradlo]

I note that the beta version shows that the DC for wizard school abilities is tied to Charisma. I'd strongly suggest changing that to Intelligence, which is the traditional wizard ability score. Charisma is more in the realm of sorcerers.

Any thoughts?

Well, this was debated a lot in the Alpha stage. Only the 3 specialist abiltities would now be tied to Charisma, and honestly there aren't very many of them that even require a save.

Take Aura of Despair for the Enchanter for example. It doesn't say anything about a saving throw at all, so tying it to CHR is a moot point.

Legendary Charm however would use CHR for the save DC since it is like Dominate Monster.

Abilities that would be affected by CHR are...
Legendary Charm - Enchantment
Elemental Wall - Evocation

Unless I am missing something, I don't see anything listing a saving throw for the others and they aren't based off of spells either.

At least, that is my take on it.
