I had this column essentially all ready to go on September 19th. And then I started
rolling Sin's favorite number. I rolled a 1 on my Will save against the temptation of
going to Indianapolis with my wife. I rolled a 1 on my house's Reflex save to avoid
being damaged by Hurricane Ike (and I live 12 hours from the coast!). I rolled a 1 on
the power grid's Reflex save to avoid being demolished by the same said hurricane,
resulting in the power being out for three days. I then rolled multiple 1's on Fortitude
saves to avoid being overcome by allergens, sinus infections, head colds, stomach flus
and who knows what all. And just when I thought I had all that behind me, both my
computers decided roll 1's on their saves against bizarre glitches. But I finally started rolling
well this week, and so the Saving Throw is back!
This time around we have a review of another chapter from the the second Pathfinder
adventure path and two reviews of Wizards of the Coast products, one closing out the 3.5 Edition
Era and one starting the 4th Edition era. After that, do not forget to read the news about
pre-orders for an all new miniatures game. And if you roll a 1 on your reading skill check, I
am allowing infinite re-rolls, today only!

And thus ends another chapter in the life of the Saving Throw. Next time we will have a couple
more reviews from the second Pathfinder adventure path. I am also currently working on a review of
an older, non-d20 based game as well. Hopefully I will have it finished in time for the next
update.
