Save as Normal Man?

Several monsters are listed as saving as "Normal Men," but I couldn't find a line for NM in any of the save charts. Am I overlooking something, or is there a missing save line from (most likely) the Fighter table? Thanks!

If you look at the Saving Throws tables, the first line for Fighter is 0-1. "Normal Men" have been called "0-level characters" at different points in history - though this is one of the few places this pops up in the BFRPG rules.

So in short, they save the same as Fighter 1.

Ah, my eye completely skipped over the "0-" in that first line. I think I had the layout of the Attack Bonus table in mind (with the separate row for Normal Men). Thanks!

In a subsequent revision of the rules (should any such ever be undertaken), it might be a good idea to connect the earlier discussion of "Normal Men" and "zero-level characters" with the "Saving Throws" discussion--even just a cross-reference.
