does rolling a 20 on a saving throw get rid of all effects on you?

[orcgirl]

help!! I kept hearing people say that a 20 gets rid of all effects in this forum, but I can't find it in the lite material. Is that a rule or not??

There is another thread on this somewhere. Consensus seems to be that rule is only present in the minis game (though I personally like it).

This rule is found in the revised D&D Miniatures rules (and I'm guessing that is where the idea is spawned from), but I don't know whether we have had a definitive statement about whether this is true for 4e itself.

I think somebody said that at DDX it didn't... but I could see good reasons for wanting to allow it, so perhaps it is still wait and see.

Cheers

It is in the minis game; the DM of at least one preview table at XP said that it didn't apply in the roleplaying game, but that has not been absolutely confirmed as true.
