How to Find Spell Casting Modifier?

Check your class or spellcasting feature to see which ability score it uses

Use the listed spellcasting ability for that class or feature

Calculate the ability modifier from that ability score

Add proficiency bonus if the feature says to add it to spell attack rolls or spell save DC

For multiclass characters, use the spellcasting ability tied to each class’s spells

For spells from items, feats, or special features, use the ability specified by that source

If no ability is specified, follow the rule set or feature description that grants the spell

Spell attack modifier = spellcasting ability modifier + proficiency bonus

Spell save DC = 8 + spellcasting ability modifier + proficiency bonus
