Confused with ongoing effects and saving throws

[edsonaoki]

Uhm, I don't if this question is kinda obvious but...

If you are attacked by different monsters (or attacked more than once by the same monster) and subject to ongoing effects that don't stack, do you save separately for these ongoing effects?

To be more clear: suppose you are hit by a monster that deals ongoing 5 poison damage (save ends), another monster that causes stunning (save ends), and another monster that deals ongoing 5 poison damage plus stunning (save ends both).

How many saves do you have to make in the end of your turn?

Three. PHB p. 279.

Note that in this scenario, the character is still only suffering ongoing 5 poison damage, because ongoing damage of the same type does not stack, but the effect still applies.

You are right...it's on page 278 (Overlapping durations). Thanks!
