Describes different saving throw types. They are used in two ways:
- Defining bonuses or penalties to saving throws;
- Parameters on saving throw functions to specify specific saving throw types:
- WillSave, FortitudeSave, ReflexSave, GetReflexAdjustedDamage
- Note: If called from a spell script with a valid UserType, it applies an invisible "SAVING_THROW_TYPE_SPELLS" for the purposes of this saving throw type (and Spellcraft bonuses vs. spells).
- Note 2: Some of the SAVING_THROW_TYPE_* constants used in these functions mean you get a "Immune" response from them for instance a SAVING_THROW_TYPE_TRAP when you have IMMUNITY_TYPE_TRAP. See list below for details. See issues with MySavingThrow since it throws out the "Immune" return value.
Adding Values
Previously SAVING_THROW_TYPE_PARALYSIS did not exist but was used in the engine for the Assassin Death Attack. 1.89.8193.37 adds the ability to use this and other user modded saving throws in item properties, effects and in the saving throw functions.
Prior to this version you can manually use the SAVING_THROW_TYPE_PARALYSIS yourself but only in effects/saving throw functions.
