Save or Cry: LL save matrix design

I made a few changes, now it can generate Labyrinth Lord saves.

Saves for Zero Level

Poison, Disease, or Death: +6

Madness, Fear, or Charm: +5

Paralyze, Petrify, or Polymorph: +4

Dragon Breath or Energy Blast: +3

Spells, Artifacts, or Runes: +2

• Classes have a favored save that receives +3 at first level
• Classes get +5 every odd level to distribute into saves
• Fighters are the exception.  They get +6 every odd level.
• 20 - [category bonus] = target number

A few of the levels match up exactly with the LL saves, so I put those in bold.

None of the fighter levels match up exactly, but they are all rather close.  Some levels are only off by a single point (5,9,15,17).

Clerics are problematic.  I think perhaps they are supposed to receive a flat +1 on all saves because higher powers are watching out for them.

Thief saves line up nicely.

Magic User saves worked out better than I though they would.  Comparing an "every other level" tier with an "every fifth level" tier was bound to make it look funky.  I was surprised that 11th and 17th levels lined up exactly.

So, there you have it, a system to create LL saves.  Now when I make up new classes for Labyrinth Lord I can give them unique save tables.  Yeah, I could have just picked numbers that felt right, but it makes me feel better to have a system that balances the new saves with the existing matrix.
