But yes, it would have a dex save at -5 lol to beat a more than likely 16 or higher DC. Won't happen because math.Fake news? Not sure how an exact quote from beginning to end explaining how it works in detail leaving out nothing is fake. If there was a precursor to the quote or something after that was omitted, then yes it would be misleading. But that was the entire example, beginning to end, black and... parchment. I agree that the wording can be misleading, hence the clarification on how the math works RAW. Just follow that math they put in there, don't add anything extra or stray from the math, and you'll be ok. The RAI clarification by the man himself on the exact subject I quoted clears it up further. There is no 0 HP state, just the 1 hp state and the druid state. Again, if your wild shape has 1 HP and you take a HP throat punch, what happens? Do you revert to the druid form with it's current hp? Yes! Do you drop to 0, go unconscious, fall prone, then revert? No, that's not at all what is stated anywhere nor would that happen with disintegrate. Rule however you like, but this one is pretty simple and explained multiple times by the designers in the book and as an RAI. Homebrew whatever ya want, this is just for clarification for the OP on the actual RAW and RAI, not for homebrew.Even with what you quoted, if you had 20 HP in animal form and get hit for 40, the 20 carries over to your normal form. You quoted it! Damage carries over! Not stop at 0 and fall unconscious, fall prone, lose concentration on any spell, and by the way be turned to dust. None of that is implied or written.RAW including the VERY VERY specific math, you don't dust. (unless druid hits 0)RAI as quoted, you don't dust. (unless druid hits 0)Homebrew... whatever ya like! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
