I know, that why I don't ask you to implement this - it's not a common houserule. But anyway, there isn't many field to modify spell DC; changing the attribute tied to a save is more easy (like the Fort save depending on Cha for undead). But I understand that it's not a priority, altering spell DC in this way is not a common thing in the game (unlike changing the attribute of a save).

That's what I eventually did, with a mechanic:
Code:
if (hero.tagis[Classes.Wizard] <> 0) then
hero.childfound[cHelpWiz].field[cSplSaveDC].value += hero.child[aCHA].field[aModBonus].value-hero.child[aINT].field[aModBonus].value
endif
(final phase, priority 15000: after the standard DC computation, which is at final phase, priority 10000, but before each spell DC computation; and a source to apply this only in a selected game)
It's probably not the best way to do it, but it seems to be OK.
(I have also looked at the spell focus feat, but for now I don't understand how it works x) )
Now I'm looking for a way of allowing the user to change an automatic bonus feat from races or class; like changing the scribe scroll bonus feat for wizard (without redefining the class), or changing the feats that a derro (or anything else, but I was training myself with derro) gains with his HD. For races, it should be in the main program, since it's not an houserule (some races have racial feats - like skeletons with improved init - , but many of them have only feats from their HD; the feats given in the bestiary are only examples for a typical member of the race, they can be unadapted for a particular NPC).
