[QUOTE="OB1, post: 7445295, member: 6796241"] I've been thinking about this issue in regards to this house rule as well, and agree it's kind of weird. I'm leaning towards splitting up the ability disadvantage to hit Str/Dex/Con first and then Int/Wis/Cha later. Here is a new look at where I am with the refined rule with the new exhaustion levels. I may need to get rid of exhaustion level 6. [B]Alternate Rule - Dropping to 0 HP[/B] This rule completely replaces the rules for dropping to 0 HP as presented in the PHB Your HP can never be lower than 0 Whenever you drop to 0HP, make a Death Saving Throw. On a failure, gain 1 level of Exhaustion. While at 0 HP, you make an additional Death Saving Throw when you take damage, you take an action, or you take a reaction. On a failed save, you gain 1 level of exhaustion. If you suffer a critical hit while at 0 HP, you automatically gain one level of exhaustion and also make a Death Saving Throw, gaining another level of exhaustion on a failure. The DC for a Death Saving Throw is 10 or 1/2 the damage taken from the triggering attack, whichever is higher. You may add your Con modifier to the roll. [B]Alternate Exhaustion Levels[/B] 1 - You have disadvantage on Str/Dex/Con ability Checks 2 - Your speed is reduced by half 3 - You have disadvantage on Attack Rolls and Saving Throws 4 - You have disadvantage on Int/Wis/Cha ability Checks 5 - Hit Point Maximum Halved 6 - Speed Reduced to 0 7 - Unconscious - Additionally, you make a death saving throw every minute if at 0 HP, or every hour if at 1 or more HP. 8 - Death [/QUOTE]
