Saving throws dillema

this from the archer strategy guide:

"WIS is the most important of the three because of the saving throw bonus (at 15+). "

so does the wisdom modify ST or does not?

Unfortunately, in BG, Wisdom does not improve saving throws.

Are there any stats that improve saving throws? Reflex, fortitude, or otherwise?

As far as I know there are none. Originally, Wisdom was supposed to do that, but it was never implemented. You can however improve your saving throws through spells and items.

some races like dwarves and halflings and gnomes get a bonus

Sheeeeeet!

I've been putting points into WIS for non-clerics on the assumption that it affected STs - I never looked at the implementation. what a waste of points over the years!

I think Wisdom affects the amount of spells slots you get in the divine sections as well as the options you get when casting Limited Wish and Wish.

In this edition of Dnd the saving throws are not reflex, will, and fortitude...

It is like the original Dnd with save against poison or death ray, petrification or polymorph, rod staff or wand, spells, and one other one.

Wis should if it is implemented give bonus to saves. The original Dnd it was +1 at 13 14 15 +2 at 16 17 and +3 at 18 but I have no clue what it is for the BG edition of AdnD they used.
