Change martial discipline saving throw ability score?
« on: May 19, 2016, 01:29:05 PM »
Is there a way to change what ability score is used for a ToB martial discipline's saving throws? 

Example: Desert Wind uses Wisdom for all saving throws.  Is there a way to change it to another stat such as Charisma?

Preferably with a feat if it is possible.

I didn't think so but I wasn't sure if I missed something.

convince your DM to let you adapt a martial adept version of Tainted Scholar.

Taking a step back, to look at the bigger picture.

Int Wis and Cha casters can sooner or later cast whatever.
Con is Psi Evocation and Miracle = anything.
Str is Psi Transmutation and Shapechange casting = nearly anything.
Dex is Psi Teleports and Disintegrate, the most restrictive.

X stat to Y bonus, has every single category of changing
main stat use, which means it's certainly possible.
Some of the ToB abilities change a stat too, already.

"Beat The Snot Out Of Them" sounds like a
not-Good aligned 2nd level divination equivalent.

This just got posted a board over :
A bit late, but the "Lost Tradition" feat from the Bastards and Bloodlines book by Green Ronin can set your casting ability score to any of which you choose - even if it would not regularly be capable of casting spells, such as Strength or Dexterity. That said, Charisma from Wisdom based spellcasting is not asking too much if Dynamic Priest is out of the question; it is also a direct upgrade as well to that aforementioned feat.

I own the X Stat to Y Bonus thread so I know there's nothing in there.  I just wanted to make sure that I hadn't missed anything and that there wasn't anything third party since third party isn't in the guide.

No right, I was ~pretty sure there was nothing official
without going off the ToB range.

Casting a single Limited Wish imho could
make a level 4 "spell" = level 4 maneuver,
be on whatever caster stat is happening.

That's a little much for the second level character this was for.  :P
