Saving throws and drugs/disease

Unread post by RainbowDevil »

Hey folks,

I was wondering if the PE attribute grants you a bonus to save against drugs and disease too, or is it just against poison and magic? Drugs and disease seems one thing that is rarely granted a bonus. I assume that's just because they're rarely used in the game, and so is an oversight, but does anyone have any clarification?

Regards,
RD

PE already added to the saving throw vs drugs.

Disease/Food Poisoning: 14+
Disease, Virulent (common cold, flu, plague): 16+

While there is no specific text saying so, I would use the PE bonus vs disease.

My groups have always determined that "Harmful Drugs" falls under the "poisons" category, and thus gets PE save + any specific saves.

Much like PE goes against magic... regardless of type. With OCC/RCC getting additional perhaps against specific types of magic.
