This is a comprehensive list of all sources of effects that directly affect saving throws.

General information[edit | edit source]

  • A source can cause different effects as part of its mechanic, but this article lists only the saving throw related portion.
  • Items listed in this article do not include mundane gear pieces of common quality and basic enchanted versions thereof.
  • If a condition is incurred by a singular source (for ex. a class feature), this article lists that singular source. Otherwise only the condition is documented.
  • For conditions caused by gear-exclusive passives and actions, the gear item takes pecedence over the passive or action in the list.
  • Proficiency, Advantage, and Disadvantage do not add to the saving throw rolls directly, but modify them in a special way. See the corresponding mechanics pages for full information.
