alternative swingeing saving throw rule:
Roll your level or less on a d20. You may get the bonus/penalty of the post applicable attribute.
…..I tend to get people to roll under the appropriate attribute or sometimes half of it (round down) but most often I really just want either a 50% chance or a “really impress me” roll. I think this mechanic could work for the latter (because I don’t usually deal with people over 5th level).
