Faerie magic saves questions

Unread post by Ankhr »

I know that there is a save for faerie magic. But my question is, what about gods and other supernatural beings? Is it the same, or different? I don't see this addressed directly, but I'm still wondering. I thought a godling, at least a god, would fare better than a normal human. I know they already have a high racial save, but I've seen supernatural creatures still get better saving throws than mortals in addition. I'm just curious. Thanks for any insight.

The save vs faerie magic is basically just the "spell strength" of the spell.
You get to roll your d20 and add to that any of your bonuses to save vs spell, save vs faerie magic, save vs the specific type of magic (enchantment, or charm, or illusion or elemental or what have you).
And since supernatural beings often have huge bonuses they get the effect of a huge save.
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

Only farie magic has saving throw Vs farie magic.

All other supernatural beings use the default 12 or whatever other spell strength is listed.
