#1 kalthandrix Oct 03, 2006 9:12:11	I am developing a new creature, and a though occurred to me that I could not readily answer myself - so I come to you all in hopes that the collective IQ of this board will be give me an answer. When figuring out the DC of a creatures psi-like abilities, which are normally Cha-based, is it assumed that the creature "technically" has the ability score high enough to manifest the power (i.e. 10 + power level) or do we use their actual ability score - which in the case of some creatures would mean that the DC is below 10 (i.e. the creature has a Cha of 9 (-1 modifier), which would make the base DC 9 + power level)? Thanks.

Thanks. The DC of a saving throw (if applicable) against a creature’s psi-like ability is 10 + the level of the power or spell the ability duplicates + the creature’s Cha modifier. Remember to check the power’s Augment entry to see if the creature’s manifester level (and thus the effective power point expenditure) increases the DC of the saving throw. You use the creature's actual ability score.
