Items make Saves like characters but do not make conscious Saving Throws in the same way.

Item Saves

Instead of using the same Primary Saving Throws as characters do or using a Saving Throw Table based on class, Items make a Save based on their Material and the source of damage.

Failure

If an Item has Integrity, it suffers damage as per the Integrity Rules.

If it does not have Integrity, it instead loses a Level of Item Quality for every 5 points the roll failed by. Once damaged, many (though not all) items can be repaired with time, skill checks and money.

Glancing Hit

An Item Save may suffer a Glancing Hit as per normal Saves. If an Item is hit by one of it's Primary Damage Types, it loses a single level of Quality. Otherwise, treat the Save as a Success.

Success

If an Item successfully saves, no damage is done.

Primary Damage

Different Materials are able to receive different types of damage to a different degree - for instance, glass dropped on the floor is more likely to shatter the further it is dropped from and the harder it lands. No matter how hard a rope lands, however, it is unlikely to explode.

If subject to a source of Primary Damage, roll damage normally against the item. For every 5 points of damage an object would receive, apply a -1 to the Saving Throw. If an item considers the normal Damage type to be a Primary Damage, it automatically considers Intense Damage to also be a Primary Damage type.
