Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords/Difficulty Classes

Just as the success of a weapon attack is determined by an attack roll against defense, the success or extent of other damaging, debilitating and status-altering effects is determined by a saving throw against the Difficulty Class (DC) of those effects: the defender makes an opposed roll using d20 + the relevant save (Fortitude, Reflex or Will) versus the attacker's DC. If the saving throw is greater (or equal), then its success may reduce or negate any effect; if it fails, the attack has full effect.

Thus a saving throw always fails if maximum roll 20 + Save < DC, and always succeeds if minimum roll 1 + Save ≥ DC. Otherwise, the chance of success is as follows:

For example, a Fortitude saving throw must normally be made at DC 30 if a is triggered: Fortitude save 9 or less means this throw always fails (maximum roll 20 + 9 = 29), always resulting in poisoning; however, if it's 19 then it succeeds 50% of the time (roll (11-20) + 19 = 30-39); and if it's 29 or more then it always succeeds (minimum roll 1 + 29 = 30), never resulting in poisoning.

Feats
Some feats can trigger an effect if the first main hand attack in a combat round hits, unless the target makes a Fortitude save against a DC of the attacker's level + attribute modifier:

and also have unique feats ( and  respectively) which can have a 10-20% chance to add an effect (Slow and Knockdown respectively) to their unarmed attacks unless the target makes a Fortitude save against a DC of 15 + level.

's can distract a single hostile droid, and Scramble Droid can cause it to fight for you, for 30 seconds unless the target makes a Will save against a DC of 5 + G0-T0's level +  modifier +  modifier.

Mines
../Mines/ can be avoided if you or your party make a successful check to detect them, then move around them or use  to disable or recover them, or Stun, Disable or Destroy Droid to trigger Minor, Average or Strong mines respectively. Otherwise:

A successful saving throw results in no effect for gas and flash mines, and no Dexterity penalty for sonic mines, and halves damage of frag, plasma and sonic mines.
