Shaman Saving Throw Matrix

Explanation: Shamans are more durable than most character classes that rely upon spells or Spiritual Powers since they live in the wild, often among Barbarians, and thus cannot afford to be frail or vulnerable to poisons and illness. They often use their abilities to fight the wandering Undead that plague remote towns and their tribal villages, hence they have developed some resistance to Death Magic attacks in addition to their ability to withstand the Spiritual Powers that they have mastered.

Shamans are rather vulnerable to Magical Weapons since they are often the tools of Mathematicians, and Shamans have little understanding of the seemingly strange “science-magic” that Mathematicians use to fuel their powers. Shamans are also weak against Sleep/Charm effects since they are often idealists and dreamers.
