The usual things like (10 + class level + some mod ) , besides raising the mod, are there any other outside ways you can raise SU and SP abilities?

It usually depends on the ability itself.

Rather than buffing the ability, you could try debuffing your opponent(s) instead. The Shaken (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#shaken) condition applies a -2 penalty to all saves, and fear effects are easy to dish out (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=3809.0). Sickened and a Blackguard's Aura of Despair each give another -2 to all saves. Entangled is a -2 to Reflex saves, and Fatigued/Exhausted are -1/-3 to Reflex saves. The Unseelie Fey template from Dragon Compendium gives an ability that causes adjacent opponents to take a penalty to saving throws equal to your Cha bonus.
