2 Questions (1st about Fort Save 2nd about a missing link)

[Kerilstrasz]

1st) Which attacks require a Fortitude save for any reason???
No spells or SLAs... Attacks or special abilities like: Assassin's death attack, Coup de grace etc etc...

2nd) There was a nice guide about Stats and classes/races.. i recall that in its name had "Y to Z" or something similar... i think it is a very famous guide so you ll know what i mean.

thnx all

Also, suffocation requires a fort. Are we counting ToB manuevers?

that's the link, thank you :smallsmile:

well.. let's stay out of ToB.. consider 3,5 E (no mags,no homebrew)
i think i read on a topic in the forum that a char was doing X dmg so his target had to make a fort or die...
in general i'm interesting to know actions that a non magic user (no spells,scrolls,wands,SLAs) can do and force the opponent on a Fort Save.

Massive damage causes "system shock", so any time you take 50 damage or more in a single attack, you need to make a fort save or die (DC 15).

There is a feat in complete warrior, Three Mountain Style, that forces the target to make a fort save or be nauseated, iirc.

There is a feat in ph2, Brutal Strike, that forces the target to make a fort save or be stunned.

I'm not sure on the latter two. There is also Tome of Battle, which is part of 3.5, just so you know.
