Description
2E Thematic Saves is a lightweight, high-quality-of-life extension for the official AD&D 2nd Edition ruleset in Fantasy Grounds Unity.
It replaces the lengthy stock saving throw labels (Paralyzation, Rod, Staff, Wand, Petrification, Polymorph, etc.) with shorter, more thematic and evocative names that better match how players actually talk about them at the table — while keeping every single mechanical value, database key, and module reference completely untouched.
Thematic Name Map
| Stock (DB Key) | Thematic Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Paralyzation | Hold | |
| Poison | Poison | Unchanged |
| Death | Death | Unchanged |
| Rod | Fear | RSW group |
| Staff | Device | RSW group |
| Wand | Ray | RSW group |
| Petrification | Stone | |
| Polymorph | Curse | |
| Breath | Blast | |
| Spell | Spell | Unchanged |
Grouped 5-save labels (where they still appear) are also updated for consistency:
- Hold, Poison or Death
- Fear, Device or Ray
- Stone, Curse
- Blast
- Spell
What Changes
- Character sheet save column headers + helpful tooltips
- Class advancement table short headers (Ho, Po, De, …)
- Chat message roll labels (DataCommon.saves_stol)
- Composite/grouped save strings
What Does NOT Change
- Any save scores, modifiers, or resolution math
- Database paths (saves.paralyzation.score, etc.)
- Compatibility with class tables or modules that reference the original keys
Compatibility
Fully compatible with the official 2E ruleset and plays nicely with other popular extensions such as:
- 2e-attackthrow
- 2e-ascendingac
- 2e-target20 (and any other UI/string-only extensions)
Safe, lightweight, and reversible — just disable the extension to return to stock labels.
