	One of the good things about [OARV]D&D is the simplicity of the
	systems.  I don't have any quibble with saves (ignoring the "chained
	to the wall" problem) except the fact that the bonus is not flat for
	all classes, i.e. the same experience grouping used for combat is used
	to represent "advancement" in your "luck"
