Hi there
Can I get some clarification on when to save for items?
According to the PHB on page 150, you only need to save for items if you fail your save by rolling a natural 1, then you consult the items affected table.
Yet according to the PHB on page 136, an attended item receives a saving throw as if the character were making the saving throw.
This second clause implies that if the character fails their save then the item fails its save too. It does not mension that a critical failure is needed for the item to fail its save.
Which of these two is correct?
