Saving Throws 101 : Refrench My Memory Please

Re: Good stuff, now how about...

I'm almost scared to ask about this during gametime since we're playing a campaign heavily dependent upon good saves.

Sorry... go buy a Cloak of Resistance.

Armor enhancements apply to AC.

Re: Good stuff, now how about...

I was wondering, and I should first specify that I'm playing a 3ed campaign, whether armor's enchantment bonus adds the same bonus to saves? We're playing that (for example) a +1 suit of armor also adds a +1 to Fort, Ref, and Will each. When I tried to find this rule in the 3ed core books, I couldn't locate it. Anyone out there know where I could find this rule? Or, perhaps it's a 2ed rule? Two of our party grew up playing 2ed, so they may have simply assumed the same rule about armor adding to saves is a rule for 3ed. I'm almost scared to ask about this during gametime since we're playing a campaign heavily dependent upon good saves.

Ignorance is bliss. Delve no deeper into this topic, for it shall surely disappoint you.

do saves automatically fail on a 1 and automatically make on a 20, or is that just attacks?

Yes, they ALWAYS fail on a 1 and ALWAYS succeed on a 20.

There, happy?

 

[Hypersmurf]

You just know it's not going to end here

Only if the Skipster is your DM

Or if he's the de facto DM for an international campaign that forces all of the poor, cringing players to take everything he says as gospel.

And so of course SOME of those players have rolled more 1's in that campaign than they have in their last 10 years of home gaming.

DOH!
