[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8830821, member: 29398"] So, ignoring the source (spell, item, creature, etc.) and looking only at the end-result effect. OK, got it...except Enchanted and Cursed Items then stands out like a sore thumb as that's still looking at the source. Maybe change this one to just "Curse"? That said, I think you either need more categories or to expand those already present, to account for: Fear or Panic Paralysis AoE damage (fireball, lightning, cold, etc.) Concentration Other; including corner cases, save-or-dies, and anything else not covered by an existing category. And there's still death saves - the ones you make when unconscious and dying - that work differently again. Changing the terminology so these rolls aren't called "saves" would help. And here the tricky bit becomes looking carefully at the relative power/usefulness/frequency of each category, so as not to nerf or over-boost any one class. For example, a bonus vs IC&P is way more useful (and thus, powerful) than a bonus vs Teleport, not only because IC&P usually comes up far more often in play than does Teleport but because those things are often very effective when they do. I wouldn't worry about two or more classes ending up with the same set; if it makes sense that they would, let it happen. [/QUOTE]
