Alcohol- An oddity!

All the alcoholic drinks in the module seem to take spellcraft saves into account with the save.

Just thought its strange that a skinny wizard might beat a beefy Barbarian in a drinking contest due to this.

Are you getting the normal +1 per 5 spellcraft? Or is it just straight out rolling against spellcraft?

If it is the former, it's normal. It counts as a spell. Not sure there is much to do for it.

+1 per 5 spellcraft.  And alright, but its still very strange to have a save in the high teens against it when drinking alcohol as a lightweight wizard, making us virtually immune to its effects.

You shouldn't be getting more than like... +2 to saves. Pretty sure the spellcraft save bonus only counts your actual ranks, not ranks from items.

Spellcraft is total ranks, not base. A strong wizard can easily get +4-5 universal saves against spells.

Drakill Tannan

Yeah, SF: Spellcraft counts as well.

IMO though we should keep it that way.

This is a bug yes, but obviously an exceedingly low priority one.
