Saves

d20 Star Wars inverts saves to be a defensive characteristic, not unlike AC. As a matter of fact, REF replaces AC in that system. This system seems more intuitive to me: it makes it so that any time you are attacked (whether by poison (FORT), a sword (AC), a trap (REF) or a fae's magic (WILL)) the attacker rolls against your defensive statistic. All it takes is to convert the d20 roll to a standard 10 (like AC), and REF becomes synonymous with touch AC. Was it considered and discarded, if so was it a matter of preference, or was it not considered? If it was discarded, I'd be interested to know any major complications before overhauling the system for my personal use ;-). Thanks!
