This episode, we’re continuing our tour of the Saving Throws in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, with the Dexterity Save.A Dexterity or DEX save represents your ability to evade danger, whether from a sprung trap, flying objects, or exploding magical flame. On a success, you’ll dodge out of the way, and reduce the damage you take. If you fail, you’ll get that whole fireball right in the face.A character whose first level class is Bard, Monk, Ranger, or Rogue can add their proficiency bonus to Dexterity saving throws. Other classes can gain proficiency in DEX saves by acquiring magic items or taking Feats when they level up.We're joined by Tiffany Roper, actual play performer and GM of Dungeon Damsels.More on the Dexterity ability score: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/b34cec55-2bf0-48e8-9551-e80ba42b4fa8/Saving Throws in D&D 5e: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/3af42f57-4076-4926-97f8-a6448a337524/Next time on Roll Factory we’ll test our endurance with the Constitution Saving Throw.For our past adventures, or to join the campaign, search and subscribe to Roll Factory wherever you get podcasts.

This time on Roll Factory, we’re starting our look at individual Saving Throws in 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons, starting again at the top of the ability scores with the Strength Save. We're joined by Twitch streamer Nat, AKA MurderVeggie.A Strength Saving throw is something you’ll do when you’re using raw physical force to resist being moved or restrained. If a massive beast hits you with a sweep of its tail, you might make a Strength Save to keep from being knocked off your feet. If you’re crossing a creaky bridge when it snaps, a Strength Save to hold on to the rope handrail could stop you from plummeting into a rocky gorge.A character whose first level class is Barbarian, Fighter, Monk, or Ranger can add their proficiency bonus to strength saving throws. Other classes can gain proficiency in strength saves by acquiring magic items or taking Feats when they level up.Next time on Roll Factory we’ll switch from powering through to dodging around, with the Dexterity Saving Throw.For our past adventures, or to join the campaign, search and subscribe to Roll Factory wherever you get podcasts.If you enjoyed this episode, please help us grow our audience.
