So im sort of new to DND and I dont know all the basics yet and something that wasnt very obvious came across as confusing.
I was playing the arcane trickster and on Tashas Hideous Laughter the spell stated:
Attack/Save: Wisdom
Obviously this means the save will be based on their spell save dc + wisdom modifier, if im not wrong about that..
But I also assumed that my spell attack was also using my Wisdom modifier for my attack with that specific spell, since it explicitly states Attack/Save: Wisdom.
But from discussions with some people on it I learned that it uses the regular spell casting modifier for arcane trickster, which is intelligence.
The tooltip basically bamboozled me, and all this time ive been running Astarion with +1 extra into wisdom (14) to get what I thought would be a +2 extra attack to my tasha spell hit modifier.
For someone not too familiar with DND from before id say maybe the tooltip shouldnt include the word attack as it was just confusing to me.
Although I probably should have known considering spells that have attack/save: dexterity dont use my dex as spell casting modifier :P but now that I think about it you should prolly remove the attack tag from those spells too as that might confuse people to believe raising your dex is making those spells better
