Items surviving Saving Throw Question ...

[Berk]

To be precise, the auto failure (and success on a 20) of saves is not in the published core rules, SRD or errata, but it is in the FAQ

Good thing the FAQ is official then. =o)

Technically (here we go again), the FAQ is not errata. Therefore, the offical rule on saves is there is no auto-failure or auto-success, since the FAQ may only clarify rules and not create new ones. WotC is breaking their own rule here, which makes it all the more difficult to know which way is truly "offical."

It doesn't matter for any particular campaign, but, then, neither does any rule. It only matters for consistency between different games and tournaments and such.

I wonder is this is addressed specifically in d20 modern or will be in version 3.5?

Well... what do you know? From d20 modern:

...A natural 1 (the d20 comes up 1) on a saving throw is always a failure. A natural 20 (the d20 comes up 20) is always a success...

More than likely you'll see that same statement in 3rd-and-a-half edition of D&D, settling that question once and for all.

Can someone tell me what happens if your bag of holding is destroyed (say by a fireball)? Is everything inside the bag lost?

From the SRD...

...if sharp objects pierce it (from inside or outside), the bag ruptures and is ruined.

I think its safe to assume that if the bad is destroyed by a fireball, the same thing happens.

Agreed, but you left out the next very important sentence:

...All contents are lost forever...

I assumed that he already knew the end result of it being pierced. My bad.

Never assume. You know what happens, right? You make an a-- out of "u" and me.

I thought it was a a-- out of U and umption. God I loved that movie.(Long Kiss Good Night, and I'll make a long kiss good nihgt reference whenever I can bwahahaha)

Umption doesn't appreciate it either.

Nah, it's an a-- out of you to me. Never understood the above representation since I can't fathom why you would be an a-- if someone else assumed something. =op

It's all right, people. You can say ass on these here UNsenet boards. Eric's grandmother isn't THAT fragile.
