Level Up (A5E) Pulling From Below

Question about Pulling From Below. From AG pg 441:

“Pulling From Below
If you are at least 5 feet below your target, your target is your size or smaller, and you aren’t grappled or restrained, you gain an expertise die on Strength checks and saving throws made against it.”

Is this only Strength saves, or is it all saves and also Str checks?

 

[W'rkncacnter]

it...very explicitly says checks and saving throws.

 

[Pedantic]

If I'm understanding your question, you're asking if "Strength" should modify both "checks" and "saving throws" or just "checks" in the original construction?

I believe the intent is that it should be read as "Strength checks and Strength saving throws" as I would expect it to use the word "all" otherwise.

Fair, but it would have been clearer if it said something like “checks and saving throws based on Str”. But your interpretation makes sense.

My question was “Str checks and Str saves” vs “Str checks and all saves”.

yeah, i didn't understand that until pedantic posted, my bad

edit: ok, well, more like i misread it, but anyway

Yes, Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
