Oh I see. When you said, "if a PC fails a death save, etc" I thought that meant there were other circumstances under which they would take a Wound. Yeah I'd say that you don't have much of a death spiral going on then.

Also I've discovered that it is relatively rare for the players in my group to have to even make a death save, much less fail one. That's not to say that they never go unconscious. But the Cleric is mightily efficient and her combination of Melora's Tide, Healing Word and Consecrated Ground have been very effective at preventing the other PC's from making a death save.

Hmm...I need to start targeting the Cleric more heavily with monster attacks...
