Let me put it this way... any and all monsters above a certain level will automatically make that save. That means the spell only does damage, and can't even outdamage a magic missle. Basically, the best first level spell in D&D got nerfed to the point of uselessness.

A 'roll' of a natural 1 is still an automatic failure, so there is theoretically a 5% chance of the effect taking place.
