Maximum for + vs. coma/death?

Unread post by MaxxSterling »

So, I have a a character who with implants and what not has a very high save vs. coma/death. Is there a cap for this listed in any of the books? I mean, a 98% vs. coma/death pretty much guarantees survival in most cases... If it's not Canon, I'm not interested. Thanks.

I don't recall ever seeing a maximum listed for this save.

That's fine, and that's what I was going with. I'm not saying the character cannot die, but it certainly improves the odds drastically. It's just 98% seemed pretty darn high for that type of save. Thanks, unless someone has seen something in a book, that's what I'm going with.

Agrees. I don't know of anything in canon that limits this.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
Reading and writing (literacy) is how people on BBS interact.

Id keep a tally of how much higher it is than 98% as well that way if have negatives to the save you might still get a 98%.
Poor care and what not might drop you 20% but if you have 125% you would be back to a 98% chance.

Original CB1 says it keeps going up 1% for every number above 30.
