. A saving throw represents an attempt to resist a spell, trap, poison, disease, or any similar threat. You don't normally decide to make a saving throw; you are forced to make one because your character or monster is at risk of harm. To make a saving throw, roll a 1d20 + [Save Modifier]. A saving throw can be modified by a situational bonus or penalty and can be affected by advantage and disadvantage, as determined by the Dungeon Master. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw is determined by the effect that causes it. For example, the DC for a saving throw allowed by a spell is determined by the caster's spellcasting ability (See Below). The result of a successful or failed saving throw is also detailed in the effect that allows the save. Usually, a successful save means that a creature suffers no harm,
or reduced harm, from an effect.
There are a total of three different types of saving throws:
<Fortitude> -- Fortitude saves reflect ones physical toughness. They incorporate stamina, ruggedness, physique, bulk, metabolism, resistance, immunity, and other similar physical qualities.
<Reflex> -- Reflex saves reflect physical (and sometimes mental) agility. They incorporate quickness, nimbleness, speed, and reaction time.
<Willpower> -- Willpower saves reflect inner strength. They incorporate willpower, mental stability, the power of the mind, levelheadedness, determination, self-confidence, self-awareness, and resistance to temptation.
