Avoiding automatic save failure by rolling natural 1

[Shin Okada]

Steadfast Determination feat in PHB allow this for Fort saves.

Are there Reflex and Will version for the same effect?

The three Diamond Mind maneuvers in Tome of Battle that allow you to replace Concentration for the save don't fail on a 1.
Ditto for the Kensai ability to use Concentration for Reflex saves.
Iron Heart Focus, iirc, is the IH maneuver to reroll a save with a +2 bonus, so it gives you a new try.
There are also luck abilities, domain, and feats for rerolling d20's and saves specifically. I know there was a luck feat to turn a nat 1 attack roll into a nat 20, forgot if there was a similar one for saves or not. I just remember there were two luck feats for saves in C.Scoundrel.

Only things of help I can think of at the moment.

The Pride domain power lets you re-roll all 1's on saving throws (although you keep the reroll, regardless). Changes the nat-1 from 1 in 20 to 1 in 400 on your saving throws.

Thanks.

Is there any option a dragon without class levels can take?

 

[Thanee]

Luck feats (from Complete Adventurer, I think)?

There might be one for that... also a Luckblade, when in ones possession, allows one re-roll per day (even if it does not contain any Wishes).

Dumb Luck feat from CS actually lets you turn a natural 1 on a save roll into a natural 20 once per day.

 

[Elethiomel]

There are a few items in the MIC that allows for rerolls once a day. I don't have my book with me and I can't remember the item names, but I know one was an amulet.

Dragons can take the martial study feats to gain the use of the diamond mind save boosters 1/encounter each, as suggested earlier.

Why so paranoid? Suddenly lost faith in your dice-chucking capabilities? I shudder to think what sort of saves it has, if it is expected to succeed on them even on a 1...

 

[Shin Okada]

Well, long story short, I will run the final adventure of a 2-years long campaign within few months. The final battle will be fought against a really big Dragon. At least, I do not like to see that final battle ends with one lucky roll of a player or one unlucky roll of mine.

If I run the mod as it is written, the Dragon will daze for the first round of combat. And of course, the dragon can't take even an immediate action while flatfooted. So, something which does not need an action is ideal.

 

[Thanee]

Do you roll in the open?

Anyways, most of these options do not require any actions, as far as I know.
