Or on a leap of faith.......since it returned -453.75 (Correct me if I'm
wrong on that) perhaps you need to check the type on int your using, you
might be going outside the allowable range. *shrug* that's just my thought
on the matter, hopefully it helps though.

Other than MAYBE some obscure chipset problem with floating point
conversion?

*boggle* This is a first for me, I've never seen anything remotely close
happen....

2 things to possibly try...

1) explicitly typecast the result back to the int form, perhaps it's an
implicit problem
    (ie:  save = (int)(((victim->level/2) - (level/2)) * 5 -
victim->saving_throw * 1.25); )

2) Mayhaps use a float for the save? not that it would make much of a
difference, but
    it should work if nothing else will.... *shrug*

Good luck, that's one heck of a bug
