[QUOTE="FANGO, post: 52218, member: 2368"] "Luck of the Heroes effect 100% of the saves the player will encounter. " This is very much untrue... Example: I have a 14th level sor1/bbn2/ftr2/trb.prot.2/drag.disc.7 (yes, he's a munchkin...I'm teaching the DM a lesson ;-)) with a +32 fort save. The highest fort DC he's encountered yet has been 30. In this case, luck of heroes would not affect his saves at all (not to mention that he has a luckstone anyway, as almost all of my characters do, because +1 to saves, skills and ability checks isn't half bad for 10k, esp. if you use your skills a lot like I do). However, his ref and will are both nowhere near this good, and he does indeed have iron will. I could also use the example of my high level half-ogre barbarian type who doesn't miss a fort save (and has a luckstone, btw), or my low level halfling rogue who doesn't miss reflex saves (except on a 1...which seems to happen every time I roll a reflex save...grr...)... Regardless, in all these examples, luck of heroes wouldn't affect 100% of the saves, and would be a vastly inferior choice to a +2 to one save feat (not to mention the stupid stupid stupid named bonus of luck of heroes...grr...)
