Message: <blockquote data-quote="dagger" data-source="post: 1272099" data-attributes="member: 279">We did (1st AD&D) item saves for character like you do it, but we did it only when a natural 1 was rolled. We learned a lot about saving items. For example, people would put a portable hole in leather covering under their armor, thus there would be 2 saves (save for the armor, if that fails, save for the leather) before the portable hold had to save and so increasing the chances of it saving. Creative things like that.I remember a time when my 15 level fighter rolled a natural 1 and had to make saves. At this point every one in the party was near the fighter. The first think he rolled for was the Necklace of Missiles, which failed. And at this point, all hell broke loose (It was the most powerful necklace on the chart and had never been used).  I was also carrying 10 vials of Greek Fire in a backpack, and yes the back pack failed. The save for glass against magical fire was not that good, if I recall correctly. Needless to say, that character really hated fire of any type after that</blockquote>
