What are the rules for casting spells in Pathfinder 2nd Edition Remastered? Including how to rule targets, make spell attack rolls, saving throws and more!
***THIS IS AN UPDATED VERIONS OF A PREVIOUSLY RELEASED VIDEO. The original verison erroneously used legacy language when discussing spellcasting proficiency levels. In the remaster edition there is only one Spell Attack Proficiency and Spell DC Proficiency (not one per magical tradition). However, since spells from different sources often use different ability modifiers, you may still need to track each tradition's spell attack bonus and spell DC separately anyway.
