| |
| − | [[1d20]] + base save bonus + [[ability modifier]]
| |
| | | | |
| − | The base save bonus is based on the classes the character has levels in, as well as on the number of levels. The [[DC]] depends on the attack itself (e.g., if it's a saving throw from a [[spell]], the spell's DC is used).

| − |
| |
| − | A [[natural 20]] on [[1d20]] always means success, while a [[natural 1]] is always a failure. In the latter case, if the effect could harm objects too, it damages the exposed ones.
