This character picks ONE attribute and always makes their save against that attribute.  If you use a success system, they make the roll as if they rolled exactly their attribute.

Ex: Smarty Pants needs to save vs I to figure something out. Normally he would roll Id20, but he has this power attuned to his Intelligence and he automatically rolls equal to his intelligence score.


I would give each variation a cool name.

Int= Clever or eidetic memory if used for memory.
St= mighty
At= nimble
End= hardy
Ch=intense or persuasive
Will= resolute
Hum= lucky or blessed
Wealth= resourceful

pretty cool!

Been thinking about this and I'm not sure if I would include it in my game.

Making (and losing) saves in critical moments is part of this game.  This has a large potential to derail that aspect.

OTOH, it is a very plausible way to guide the game to where you need it to be. If the player chooses Int, for example, they figure stuff out when needed by putting together all the data, like a Mentat.

I might consider the power cost of the B type with the parameters of the A.

Still and all, an interesting idea.

The powe replaces the roll, so if there is a contest and you need a lot of success this power won't help.
