Items got the save, of course, but I don't recall how the mechanic worked for spells and other magical effects. What you could do, if you haven't already thought of this--sorry I didn't read all posts, but I have limited internet time--is to make the dispel affect only one item, spell, or effect, unless the dispel check exceeds the DC/caster-level/whatever you are using by five or more. If this occurs, have it automatically dispel a second effect at random--though obviously "beneath" or nearby the original target. For an area-affect dispel, then the highest-level spell on the "top" layer of spells, items, effects, etc, whatever, is the one to beat, and all the lower-level "top" layer of spells are beaten by that successful roll.Without knowing the mechanic well--obviously, and I apologise--it seems that this would eliminate all rolls except the one. There can be only one. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
