Casting ability

Your casting ability is the Ability that governs your spellcasting effectiveness.


 * The highest level spell you can cast is your casting Ability-10. If your casting Ability is 10 or lower, you cannot cast spells!
 * Your casting Ability modifier affects your maximum spell points.
 * Your casting Ability modifier adds to your spells' saving throw DCs.

Depending on your class, your casting ability may be Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma.


 * Artificers and Wizards use Intelligence
 * Bards and Sorcerers use Charisma
 * Clerics, Paladins, and Rangers use Wisdom
 * Favored Souls use Charisma to determine maximum spell level and spell points, but use Wisdom to determine spell DCs
