Rule type
C

When you start your turn with 0 HP, roll 1d20, and you succeed on a 10+.

  • Third Success. You become Stable.
  • Third Failure. You die.
  • Rolling a 1. Counts as two failures.
  • Rolling a 20. You regain 1 Hit Point.

If you take damage at 0 HP, it counts as a failed Death Save or two failures if the damage is from a Critical Hit.
