[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8818987, member: 7006"] For the thought experiment I would give each of them one of the good saves (the lists previously mentioned were good)... and I'd also make a change to the Resilient feat by having it give proficiency in TWO saving throws-- one Primary (dex/con/wis) and one Secondary (str/int/cha)-- and then let the +1 to an ability score be to either of the two abilities chosen for the save. I wrote this in my last survey... I thought the feat as it is was not worth it because more often than not the desire for a new save proficiency did not match up to the ability score that the PC would want boosted. With the whole even/odd score thing and whether a +1 ASI would increase a modifier and whatnot... you might want one save proficiency but not the +1 because it doesn't do anything right now. Thus players are less inclined to take the feat (and I know not a single one of my players have ever taken the feat once over these last 8 years). If the feat was changed to grant two save proficiencies, there was a much greater chance that one of those two would be an ability score worth boosting and thus players would be more inclined to take it.
