As an immediate action before he rolls a saving throw against a targeted effect that also targets other allies or an area effect whose area includes other allies, a cultivator with this ability can spend any number of ki points and designate a number of adjacent allies equal to the number of ki points spent.
The cultivator rolls one saving throw for each designated ally, using his bonus instead of the ally’s. For each successful saving throw, the corresponding ally treats the effect as if that ally had succeeded at the saving throw, and for each saving throw failed, the corresponding ally treats the effect as if that ally had failed the saving throw.
If the cultivator fails any of the saving throws (including his own original saving throw), the cultivator treats the effect as if he had failed the saving throw.
