Saving throws are an essential part of Dungeons & Dragons 5e, representing a character’s ability to resist certain effects, such as spells, traps, and environmental hazards. There are three types of saving throws: Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution, each of which is associated with a different ability score.
To determine a saving throw, the player rolls a d20 and adds the appropriate ability modifier. For example, a character with a Strength score of 16 would add +3 to their Strength saving throw. The result of the saving throw is compared to the difficulty class (DC) of the effect. If the result is equal to or higher than the DC, the character succeeds on the saving throw and avoids the effect.
