Saving Throws
In
the D20™ game system, Will, Reflex, and Fortitude scores are referenced
to determine what are called "saving throws". In Star Frontiers™ these
scores are determined with ability checks as follows:
Will Checks.
When a character's will is challenged, you may use either the LOG or
LDR score depending on how they are being challenged. If their
thinking, sensabilities or beliefs are being challenged, LOG is the
base score. If challenges to their leadership or self-determination
arise, then LDR is used. If challenges to one's leadership or mental
capabilities endure, then take the highest score of either LOG or LDR
to determine their mental endurence or sanity.
Reflex Checks.
A character who needs to react quickly, or their reflexive abilities
are challenged, a check is made against the character's RS score.
Fortitude Checks.
Resistence to disease, gas attacks, poison and other challenges to a
character's immune system and endurence are determined with checks
against the character's STA score.
