But I don't think the 1E text actually says one way or the other when to make item saves. By default that might be on any hit, or by implied inclusion of 0E rules it might be never while the user is still standing (numerous presumed prior rules like that got left out of the rewritten 1E text). | |

However, if a character makes a saving throw against a magical attack, the rules stipulated that everything worn or carried by the character would also survive. | |
