Quick question, is a 1 always a failure on a saving throw? Or if it's dc 14 with say, +14 on the save, is one immune?
-
For PC characters, 1 does not equal automatic failure. So, yes, by your example you'd be immune.
-
Is this because it isn't on DnD hardcore or something else?
-
Exactly, the server doesn't run on hardcore settings. Thus the autofailure feature has been turned off.
-
Hmm.. I knew about this but what about rolling a 20 in a save .. is that always succes? I have never thought about it..
And what about rolling a 20 in mele combat.. is that always a hit?
-
Rolling a 20 on saving throws equals autosuccess always. The .ini command is only for failure, not success.
So no matter what you do, on a twenty, you always succeed. Same goes for attack rolls, yes. A twenty on an attack roll equals autohit.
-
This also goes the same way for NPC's. No matter the DC, a NPC always succeed on a 20.

Thanks.. this was what I thought but great to get it confirmed :)
Oh.. and welcome Back Blackguy

the same goes for NPC's if their save is high enough to beat the dc when rolling a 1 they are immune
-
If the roll is at the request of a GM it's up to the GM's discretion by the way.

Yep, and some of us are old-school PnP players .. so watch out!
