Lemme see if I can make it clear here, which will help me rewrite what I need to rewrite:- Certain skills are used to make saving throws. The saving throws themselves are named, so that I don't have to keep repeating "unless you make an Acrobatics saving throw to halve the damage"... instead I can just say "unless you dodge".The saving throw skills, and their associated saving throw names, are:Attack Proficiency -> ParryAcrobatics -> DodgeAthletics -> Brace, Keep BracingEndurance - Resist, Shrug it Off, Cling to LifeInsight -> Snap Out of ItInvestigation -> DisbelievePresence -> DenyOne inconsistency is that sometimes Insight saving throws are still called "Deny" instead of "Snap Out Of It".Each of these saving throws has specific rules. For example:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dodge always uses your reaction. When you Dodge an area effect, you still take half damage if you can't leave the area before it "goes off".</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Parry always uses your reaction, and only works vs attack rolls.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Evade action lets you get your reaction back after you successfully dodge; the Guard action lets you get your reaction back after you successfully parry.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Brace uses your reaction, but lets you Keep Bracing until your next turn unless something moves you or knocks you prone.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Resist happens when an effect first hits you, and doesn't take any action.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Shrug it Off happens at the start of your round, if you're taking ongoing damage or have some other debilitating effect.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cling to Life happens automatically whenever you start your turn at zero hit points.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Snap Out Of It happens at the end of your round, when you have some mental effect (charm, fear, etc) that you can try and snap out of</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Disbelieve require your full action to realize something isn't right about an illusion effect</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Deny happens immediately whenever a mental effect (charm, fear, etc) first hits you.</li> </ul></blockquote>
