I made a warlock for fun and as one of my Eldritch Invocations I took Chains of Carceri. When I look at hold monster in my spells its spell save is only a 13, instead of 18. This makes me think it is using my intelligence instead of my charisma. Is this right?
It looks like it is not using any ability modifier at all for the Save DC, probably because it was acquired through the Eldritch Adept feat rather than as a regular class feature. This is a bug the team at DDB will need to look into.
As a workaround, try swapping Chains of Carceri and Mask of Many Faces to see if that shows the correct Save DC.
It looks like other invocations that grant saving-throw spells also lack the spellcasting modifier bonus to Save DC when gained from Eldritch Adept. Probably because the feat doesn't technically know what your spellcasting modifier is (even if Charisma would be an obvious default.) It's kind of a problem with the feat itself, not just DDB.
