Saving Throws
Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2014 6:47 pm
With the existence of spell modifiers, bless spells and spell burn, a wizard can often and at little cost ensure that the save against their spell effect is 25, 27, or even higher.I have had third level wizards under the effect of a great bless spell cast by the cleric get results as high as 30.
this gives spell casters access to low level spells which make them almost unstoppable.
I am considering testing a house rule that provides that on a natural roll of 20, the creature making a saving throw rolls a D 20, adding the result to the first result.
For example, if the saving character has a +2 to their will saves and they roll a natural 20, and on their second d20 roll they roll a 5 their total for purposes of that saving throw would be 27.
this enhances the fickle nature of magic and gives non spell casters a fighting chance against buffed spell casters.
anyone tried anything like this? Thoughts?
