[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 4797854, member: 31734"] I think ongoing damage is a key element to this discussion. I think the rules have an interesting tidbit there: "If effects deal ongoing damage od different types, you take damage from each effect every round. [I]You make a separate saving throw against each damage type[/I]." pg. 278 PHB Does the italicized portion mean anything special? From many people posting here, it seems too obvious to mention, unless maybe it says that you get ONE saving throw per type? That is easily extrapolated to one saving throw per effect. I mean, if you have ongoing 5 acid from one effect and ongoing 5 poison from another, isn't it obvious they're separate effects and get separate saving throws? But, now assume you also have ongoing 5 acid from a third effect and reread the quote above. Two saves, one per damage type? [/QUOTE]
