A '''save''' is a term derived from "saving throw", a term originating from tabletop role playing games as a defensive check to see if a player will take or avoid a harmful effect. Saves are usually referred to in the context "a ([[Attributes|attribute]]) save of difficulty (number)".

By default, this is a {{dice tooltip|1d20}} roll that has the attribute's [[modifier]] added to the result. If this is greater than the difficulty specified, the "save" is successful and the attempted effect to apply will be ignored.

If a save is against multiple attributes, the best modifier is used.
If a save is against multiple attributes, the best modifier is used.


Most saves fail on a "natural 1" and succeed on a "natural 20" regardless of difficulty and bonuses, meaning you always have at least a 5% chance of success and at least a 5% chance of failure.
Some saves are also modified by an attacker's attribute, which adds to the save difficulty.
 
Most saves fail when the game rolls a natural 1 (i.e. "critical failure") and succeed on a natural 20 regardless of difficulty and bonuses, meaning you always have at least a 5% chance of success and at least a 5% chance of failure.


Saves include "Vs." tagging to designate what kind of effect they are, so save modifiers can be provided for particular scopes.  If any part of a save modifier's scope matches to a part of the save's Vs., the save modifier applies.
