Summary: New tag for abilities - DC

Initial Comment:
Many supernatural and spell-like abilities have save
DCs;  there are some feats and effects that alter the
DC of the effect, notably Ability Focus. Until now,
there has been no way to affect the save DC of a given
ability or class of abilities without specifying
arbitrary variable names.

It would be nice to have a dedicated DC tag for
abilities (and feats, for that matter) that feats like
Ability Focus or class/racial abilities that alter DCs
can reference. The DC tag should be able to take
formulas, since most special ability DCs are derived
from a formula: 10 + (1/2 the creature's Hit Dice) +
stat mod.

A matching bonus tag, BONUS:DC|ABILITY, should also be
created. This tag should take the name of an ability as
well as a TYPE.* descriptor.

It would then be possible to do something like:

BONUS:DC|ABILITY|Poison|2

To raise the save DC of a creature's Poison ability by
two, or:

BONUS:DC|ABILITY|TYPE.Supernatural|1

to raise the save DC of all supernatural abilities by
one. (This assumes that the abilities in question have
"Supernatural" as a TYPE.)

I think I like the concept.  Something to consider.  Syntax
in this proposal is really wonky.  Frank, something to
discuss on _experimental and hash out?
