Under the "Actions" and "Features and Traits" tabs, my Wizard's Hypnotic Gaze ability shows a DC of 12, when it should be 13. When I click on the ability to expand it's definition, it says "Attack/Save: WIS 13", but in the text of the ability in the Actions and Features tabs, it is 12. I made a copy of the character to test, and its the same on the copy.
I had a hunch that it's tied to the wrong stat in text, and changed the stats to be minimum across the board, except for intelligence, which I set to 18 base (19 total, half elf). It now says "DC 7 Wis." in the text, then in the expanded definition "Attack/Save: WIS 14".
I then swapped Wisdom and Intelligence, and sure enough in the text it now read "DC 14 Wis" and in the expanded definition "Attack/Save: WIS 7".
TLDR: The short description or whatever it is called in the "Actions" and "Features and Traits" tabs for the School of Enchantment Wizard's Hypnotic Gaze ability is utilizing the Wisdom ability score to base the Saving throw DC off of instead of the player's Spell Save DC or the Intelligence modifier.
That's called a "snippet", and it's incorrectly configured to calculate the DC using Wisdom instead of Intelligence.
You can even see if you hover over it that the snippet code is "savedc:wis" when it should be "savedc:int".
Likely whoever typed that misunderstood the distinction between Wisdom being the ability used to calculate the DC and Wisdom being the ability used to roll the save.
