The DC of a saving throw against a maneuver equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + one of your ability modifiers, noted in parentheses after the saving throw is mentioned; for example, "…must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (Wisdom) or take 3d6 fire damage." If you have an initiation bonus from your class or another source, add the bonus to the DC.
