Putting together a magic-using character in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition<\/em> can be a terrifying task. There are quite a few choices that you need to make when you start, and every level afterwards. You also need to contend with spell save DCs, a unique statistic for casters in 5E<\/em>. Getting to know this number\u2014as well as your spell attack roll and any DC modifiers you might have\u2014is critical for smooth play and reducing frustration.<\/p>
Difficulty Checks, or DCs, in 5E<\/em> represent how high a character must roll when a DM asks them to. To beat a DC, the character must roll a d20, add the relevant modifiers, and see if they matched or rolled higher than the number set as the DC. Many different aspects of a character sheet are DCs, such as Armor Class or Passive Perception<\/a>.<\/p>
