When defending my Archon from a flurry of wounds with the Shadowfield's 2+ invulnerable save (which is lost if a roll is failed), do I have to make all the saving throws at once, or roll my saves one by one until I roll the dreaded 1?

I've been rolling the saves one by one, but according to some discussion on another forum, it may not be the agreed-upon way to do it. Of note, nothing in the wording of the Shadowfield rules explicitly says you have to roll them one by one. I've just been making assumptions based on the fact that you lose the Shadowfield the first time you fail a save.

You have to roll saves one by one anyway as per the BRB, you have no permission to batch roll saves.

Saves are made one by one. The rules dont allow fast rolling saves. However, most players fast roll saves when the outcome doesnt matter, simply to save time. It does matter for the shadowfield, so you have to do it by the rules, and do it one by one.

Okay, thanks! I didn't realize the answer was in the basic rules of the game.

Sometimes you lose sight of the forest for the trees.
