Items damaged on a natural 1 reflex - where?

[blargney the second]

Items get damaged on a natural 1 on a reflex save. But I can never remember where to find it at the table!

Where is it, and how do you remember how to find it?

It's in the PHB, Magic Overview, under 'Saving Throw':

Items Surviving after a Saving Throw: Unless the descriptive text for the spell specifies otherwise, all items carried or worn by a creature are assumed to survive a magical attack. If a creature rolls a natural 1 on its saving throw against the effect, however, an exposed item is harmed (if the attack can harm objects). Refer to Table: Items Affected by Magical Attacks. Determine which four objects carried or worn by the creature are most likely to be affected and roll randomly among them. The randomly determined item must make a saving throw against the attack form and take whatever damage the attack deal.

If an item is not carried or worn and is not magical, it does not get a saving throw. It simply is dealt the appropriate damage.

Table: Items Affected by Magical Attacks

Order1 Item
1st Shield
2nd Armor
3rd Magic helmet, hat, or headband
4th Item in hand (including weapon, wand, or the like)
5th Magic cloak
6th Stowed or sheathed weapon
7th Magic bracers
8th Magic clothing
9th Magic jewelry (including rings)
10th Anything else
1 In order of most likely to least likely to be affected.

I remember that it's in the PHB, Magic Overview, under 'Saving Throw'.

Pg. 177 of the PHB!


I memorized it because, I too, could never ever find it when I needed to.

Here's the SRD link:

(Unsurprisingly, it's under "Magic Overview -> Saving Throws".)

Awesome! Thanks, guys. Hopefully I'll even remember it this time.
