Offensively tanking a Fort save?
« on: November 26, 2011, 02:27:01 PM »
What's the most effective way of dropping an enemies Fort save?

I know Cloud of Bewilderment drops a Will save, so I'm looking for the best way to force an enemy to fail a Fort save.

Thanks for the help! :D

CON damage/drain/penalty? Don't need to attack the save if they take -4 or -5 (then die...).

3.5 is disappointingly flawed.

A standard Hexadin of Tyranny build can make all saves take penalties of -6 or greater, which is a pretty reliable way of increasing the efficacy of your Fort SODs.

Best bet so far, seems to be Greater Bestow Curse, at -8 to all saves.

If that's the best, I may need to figure out some other ways of doing what I want to do.
