Poison (the spell) save DC


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Back in 3.5, I really liked the poison spell, mainly because it had a save DC that scaled with level rather than only being adjusted by the casting ability modifier. It used (10 + 1/2 caster level + WIS) rather than the normal (10 + spell level + casting ability modifier).

I wonder why that was changed for Pathfinder? Was it too good when the effect was changed, or did you simply not want spells that had unusual save DC calculations?

It was probably done so it would bring it in line with other spell effects. Pathfinder did a LOT of consolidation in terms of how things worked.
