• The spellcasting ability used by boar companions is Strength. This gives a Difficulty Class for the  Prone effect of 9 at level 3, 13 at level 5, and 14 at level 11. The extremely low DC at level 3 is because the proficiency bonus of the beast companions is 0 until level 5 when it increases to 3.
  • Both Elixir of Hill Giant Strength and Elixir of Battlemage's Power will increase this DC. Animal companions and other summons can consume these items from the party's inventory.
