Spellcasting Focus

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Gambler spells. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Gambler spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. Spell Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

Spell Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
