Cast Darkness on enemy sword? Save?

[James McMurray]

Unless its a magic sword, they ALWAYS get saves, even when the owner might not.

Only against spells which might deal damage to them. They don't get saves against all effects. And (although I disagree with it) per the RAW they would get a save against a 10d6 fireball, but wouldn't get a save against a 10d6 supernatural or extraordinary ability which otherwise exactly mimicked the fireball spell.

 

[Altamont Ravenard]

Hmm the Darkness spell indeed states that no save is granted. Which I find absolutely surprising. IMO, the saving throw entry should have read "(object)".
