Saving Throws To make a saving throw, roll a d20 and add the appropriate ability modifier. For example, you use your Dexterity modifier for a Dexterity saving throw. A saving throw can be modified by a situational bonus or penalty and can be affected by Advantage and Disadvantage, as determined by the GM.
Can you increase modifiers DND?

How is a spell attack different from a saving throw?
Spell attacks don’t allow saving throws A spell attack basically decides if the spell attack hits the target. It’s different from spell saving throws in that it depends less on the target’s ability to dodge, and more on how well your character can aim. It can apply to ranged spells or melee spells, as long as you use a spell attack.
What are the modifiers for the saving throw?
Modifiers that increase the chance are given as a number preceded by a plus sign. Modifiers that make success more difficult are given as a number preceded by a minus sign (-1, -2, etc.).
When do you Use Your charisma modifier on a spell?
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 bard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. So your bard spells have save DC based on your charisma modifier and proficiency bonus as described above.
Do you add DC for spell save DC?
For the Spell Save DC, all you need to do is to add 8 to your Spell Attack Modifier. Since you use the Spell Save DC for spells that don’t use Attack Rolls, you will be using this to determine the value against the opponent’s Saving Throw.
