Hi!
I'm having my characters face an Aboleth this weekend.
Looking at it's "slime" special ability I was shocked to see that one successful save did not grant you immunity to this specific monster's ability for the rest of the day as was the norm in 3.5E.
I also looked up the Ghoul and the same goes for his "paralisys" ability: no immunity on a successful save.
Am I missing some part of the rules in which it says so or is this how things work in Pathfinder?
In other words: Do the PCs have to save each time they are attacked with this type of special abilities regardless of whether they succeed or not?
Thanks in advance.

Thats actually a fairly rare thing, being immune to an effect after a successful save. If I am not mistaken, its also usually tacked on to a few mental effect, like a harpy's song.

Ok, my mistake.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I looked to the D20SRD and checked that there's no such rule in 3.5E, it must have been some kind of houserule the DM made up to make the game easier for us.
I blindly believed that was in the official rules and I war wrong :P
Your amazement made me double check.
One never stops learning.
Thanks
