Just as the success of a weapon attack is determined by an [[../Combat#Attack|attack roll]] against [[../Combat#Defense|defense]], the success or extent of other damaging, [[../Combat#Debilitated penalty|debilitating]] and status-altering effects is determined by a saving throw against the [[../Difficulty Classes|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 {{s|Mines|Deadly Gas Mine}} 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.

Each save affects the following (although {{s|Saves|Immunity}}, or {{s|Feats|Force Immunity}} feats, can negate effects before a saving throw is even made):

|}

Attribute modifiers and any {{s|Feats|Conditioning}} feat bonus also add to base saves:

Force Aura, Shield or Armor only affect the Jedi for 20 seconds, whereas a Valor power affects the Jedi's entire party for 20 seconds (and also grants attribute bonuses that increase base saves as well).

Some sources only grant a bonus to a specific save:

When debilitated, Dexterity modifier is no longer added to base Reflex save, and [[../Classes#Droid|droid]] saves are reduced by 2.

==Immunity==
Immunity can negate effects before a saving throw is even made.

===Attribute Damage===
Immunity: {{s|Difficulty Classes|Attribute Damage}} also prevents any attribute penalties being inflicted by sonic attacks of any kind, but has no effect on {{s|Saves|Poison}} of any kind.

Immunity: Attribute Damage is only granted by the following:

{{col|2}}
{{col|2|end}}

===Critical Hits===
Immunity: {{s|Combat|Critical Hit}}s prevents the multiple damage rolls of a critical hit. It also prevents {{s|Feats|Sneak Attack}} damage from being added when [[../Combat#Debilitated penalty|debilitated]].

Due to the need for '''two''' successful rolls ([[../Combat#Attack|attack]], then [[../Combat#Critical Threat|threat]]), Immunity: Critical Hits becomes less useful as {{s|Combat|Defense}} increases. For example, even if an attacker using Master {{s|Feats|Critical Strike}} has Critical Threat: 13-20,x2 (maximum 40% chance), with just 40% chance to hit there's only 16% chance of a critical hit; with 20% chance to hit, there's just 4% chance of a critical hit. Roll 20 + Attack < Defense results in minimum 5% chance to hit (roll 20 is an automatic hit) and '''0%''' critical conversion.

Immunity: Critical Hits is granted by the following:

{{s|Classes|Droid}}s are normally granted Immunity: Paralysis.

===Poison===
Immunity: Poison prevents the following from poisoning, before a Fortitude saving throw is even made, when active beforehand:

* [[../Force powers#Slow|Affliction and Plague]]
{{col|4}}

{{col|4}}
* {{s|Mines|Gas mines}}

{{col|4|end}}

Plague has DC '''100''', which is impossible to save against: the only other possible counters, the {{s|Force powers|Force Resistance}} or Immunity powers, can only affect individual {{s|Classes|Jedi}}. Immunity: Poison is granted by the following:

Knight and Master Valor affect the Jedi's entire party, but only for 20 seconds. Breath Control is only granted to your main character, but lasts for 240 seconds (4 minutes).

{{s|Classes|Droid}}s are normally granted Immunity: Poison.

Poison can also be neutralized with the light side powers Improved and Master {{s|Force powers|Heal}}, or an {{s|Useable|Antidote Kit}}.

===Stun, Fear, Horror===
Immunity: Stun, Fear, Horror grants the same protection from being [[../Combat#Debilitated penalty|debilitated]] as {{s|Feats|Force Immunity}}: Fear and Stun (but '''not''' {{s|Saves|Paralysis}}):

| {{N/a|[[../Force powers#Force Push|Force Whirlwind]]<br>{{s|Force powers|Wound}}, Choke and Kill}}
|}

{{s|Grenades|Adhesive Grenade}}s may entangle, but they are not actually debilitating.

{{s|Classes|Droid}}s are normally granted Immunity: Stun, Fear, Horror, and Paralysis, and are unaffected by Wound, Choke or Kill, but can be debilitated by {{s|Force powers|Stun Droid}} powers. Some droids can also be debilitated by Force Whirlwind but others, including all immobile droids, are also completely immune to Force Push and Whirlwind.

Immunity: Stun, Fear, Horror is granted by the following:

|}

{{col|2|end}}

{{s|Robes|Thon's Robe}} {{KotOR/Restricted|Light}} grants Force Immunity: Stun only, and {{s|Party|Mandalore}}'s {{s|Feats|Mandalorian Courage}} feat grants him Immunity: Fear, Horror only.

Stun can also be neutralized by the light side power Master {{s|Force powers|Heal}}.

==Force Resist==
Force Resist offers some protection from [[../Difficulty Classes#Force powers|direct Force power attacks]] of Jedi opponents, possibly negating their effects. Attacking Jedi make an opposed roll using d20 + their level versus the defender's Force Resist. If the attacker's result is greater (or equal), the attack succeeds. If the defender's total is greater, the attack has no effect.

Thus some protection is only offered if minimum roll 1 + attacker level < Force Resist: for example, Force Resist 16 offers no protection if the attacking Jedi is level 15 or higher (although a saving throw can still be made). Otherwise, the chance of a Force power being resisted is as follows:

{| {{prettytable|text center=1|style=font-size:80%}}
!colspan=21| Force Resist - attacker level
|-
!width=4.76%| < 2

|} 

For example, Force Resist 32 cannot be breached at all until the attacking Jedi is at least level 12 (maximum roll 20 + 12 = 32).

{{col|2|end}}

Force Resist bonuses don't sum: only the highest has any effect. Unfortunately this bonus becomes increasingly ineffective as main character level, and thus enemy [[../Autobalance|level]], increases until it's '''always''' breached, as even the minimum opposed roll (1 + enemy level) is equal or greater:

{| {{prettytable|text center=1}}
!width=20%| Force Resist
!width=10%| 10
!width=10%| 12
!width=10%| 14
!width=10%| 16
!width=10%| 18
!width=10%| 20
!width=10%| 22
!width=10%| 24
|-
! Minimum enemy level
| 9 || 11 || 13 || 15 || 17 || 19 || 21 || 23
|-
! Minimum main level
| 12 || 15 || 18 || 20 || 23 || 26 || 28 || 31
|}

Thus even maximum Force Resist 24 is utterly ineffective from level 31 onward.

The {{s|Force powers|Force Resistance}} power grants a Jedi Force Resistance = 10 + defender level, from level 9 onward, while Force Immunity grants a Jedi Force Resistance = 15 + defender level, from level 15 onward: that's up to 25% more than Force Resistance.

Due to the way enemy level is normally calculated based on main character level, as you level up this power can make you increasingly resistant to all Force powers you can save against, until they're '''always''' resisted, resulting in them having no effect whatsoever (saving often just reduces damage and debuffs):

{| {{prettytable|text center=1}}
!width=25%| Main level
!width=8.3%| 9 - 12
!width=8.3%| 13 - 16
!width=8.3%| 17 - 20
!width=8.3%| 21 - 24
!width=8.3%| 25 - 28
!width=8.3%| 29 - 32
!width=8.3%| 33 - 36
!width=8.3%| 37 - 40
!width=8.3%| 41 - 50
|-
! Enemy level
! 6 - 9 !! 9 - 12 !! 12 - 15 !! 15 - 18 !! 18 - 21 !! 21 - 24 !! 24 - 27 !! 27 - 30 !! 30 - 37
|-
! Force Resistance
| 60% || 65% || 70% || 75% || 80% || 85% || 90% || 95% || {{yes2|100%}}
|-
! Force Immunity
| {{N/a|}} || 90% || 95% ||colspan=6 {{yes2|100%}}
|}

So Immunity can normally never be breached from level 21 onward (maximum roll 20 + level 15 ('''35''' total) vs Force Resistance '''36''' (21 + 15)), and for Resistance it's level 41 onward (maximum roll 20 + level 30 ('''50''' total) vs Force Resistance '''51''' (41 + 10)).

Jedi in your party are normally lower level than your main character, so they don't receive the same Resistance or Immunity for a few more levels (5% less, or four more levels, for each level of difference).

These two Force powers last 60 seconds but can be cancelled sooner: {{s|Force powers|Force Suppression}} only cancels Force Resistance, but Force Breach cancels both Resistance and Immunity.

Since nothing can be done about natural Force Resistance other than leveling up, using (Advanced) {{s|Force powers|Throw Lightsaber}} or other attacks is recommended.
