Temporary Stat Bonuses and saving DCs

[DrCoras]

I'm sorry if this was already answered since I could not find it.

I am wondering about how a temporary Stat increase would affect an ability with a saving throw dependant on that ability.

Specifically I am wondering about Bloodrager's rage and Staggering Strike from the Aberrant Bloodline. Does the save DC go up when you are raging or is it based on your base constitution bonus?

I am wondering because I am torn between regular Bloodrager and Urban Bloodrager.

Thanks in advance for any help!

yes it goes up case your constitution bonus is up. Same with your fort saves, they go up cause your con went up.

Great! Thank you for the explanation!

I guess that means no urban for me. I liked the idea of magus and bard spells, dex raging, and giving the extra save dc to others in an area of effect, but increasing the save dc by 2 and getting the str bonus still makes this much better.

Thanks!

Temporary Ability Score Increases vs. Permanent Ability Score Increases: Why do temporary bonuses only apply to some things?

Temporary ability bonuses should apply to anything relating to that ability score, just as permanent ability score bonuses do. The section in the glossary was very tight on space and it was not possible to list every single ability score-related game effect that an ability score bones would affect.
