ok i understand the rules thus far but what do saves start as? And whats the points for increasing them?

 

[Ranger REG]

Four saving throws (Damage, Fortitude, Reflex, and Will) all start at 0 (zero), just like BAB and Defense bonus. You'll need to acquire Amazing Save power to increase them. Some super-powers grant you bonus to saving throws, and/or allow you to get Amazing Save as extras.

 

[Insight]

Your saving throw bonuses start at 0, and are increased through your base ability scores (Con for Damage and Fort, Dex for Reflex, and Wisdom for Will). Feats (Toughness, Great Fortitude, Lightning Reflexes, and Iron Will) add +2 to this total. Amazing Save and Super-(Attribute) powers also add to the saves. Remember, there's a PL cap on stacking, so there should not be any powers-based adds to saving throws that are higher than the character's PL.

It is important to note as well that Force Field does not add to Damage save as it states in the current printing of the book. Force Field works like Protection in that it reduces the bonus of an incoming attack.

Hope that helps.
