1e AD&D Saving Throw Table for Magical and Non-Magical Items

While a minority opinion, the biggest mistake D&D made was removing Equipment Saving Throws. Once, losing your Save vs a Fireball, acid, or whatever meant all your equipment was at risk. Swords, armor, left boots, etc.– your precious items could be lost.
Thinking of items as losable created tension.

When a button is pressed the primary hand is changed from right to left. As this character is right-handed, it now applies the ‘offhand’ penalties to the spear instead of the roundshield. We can see indicators for the roundshield and spear that indicate in which hand they are. This is the same but with the spear now in the left hand and the roundshield in the right hand.

I implemented impairments in my HMK Toolkit app for HârnMaster Kèthîra, then I added the ability to swap hands, because you might have impairments in one arm and want to use you other arm to swing your sword. Turned out to be pretty complicated but I really like the result!

A popover is shown for the Physician skill which has a ML of 60, but un EML of 63 due to a 5 perception penalty from armour and a 8 bonus from a blessing. The roll on the D100 is 20, which is a critical success. If this was a Skill Value test, the resulting SV is 7 (skill index 6 plus 1 from the critical success).

I added a quick roller for HMK Toolkit, my HarnMaster Kethira application. It finds the EML, rolls the D100 and interprets the result either as a Skill Test or as a Skill Value Test.

Apologies to all who were affected by the session expiry bug! Ideally I’d reset the trial periods of all affected, but the App Store doesn’t allow that.

So instead, if you experienced the issue and started a trial before today, you can grab an extra free week.

A screen capture of the second page of the character sheet. We see the list or armour articles and a popover window detailing the bulk this combination incurs and the reasons that caused it.

I’m experimenting with an implementation of the layer rules for armour in the HarnMaster Kethira TTRPG for my HMK Toolkit app. It was interesting to code and will be a very useful addition.

The Silver Conspiracy: HarnQuest Q4 2025 YouTube video by Mind Your Manors

I'm terrible at self promotion. I spoke with the HarnWriter's team that worked on this quarter's HarnQuest publication, The Silver Conspiracy!

A nice departure from the trad article format - something of a scenario, but Harn style. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9K2...
