[QUOTE="Psikerlord#, post: 6485488, member: 93321"] Yep, it's quite hard to die in 5e, and just about impossible to stay dead if you have a cleric nearby. Note taking melee damage when unconscious is an auto crit and = 2 failed death saves. Also general AoE dmg will earn you an off turn failed death save. So the unexpected can happen. I prefer a grittier game and use the following house rules: 1. There is no resurrection, raise dead or revivify spells available to PCs. 2. I use the Injury rules in DMG for hitting zero hp or failing a death save by 5 or more. For rolls 1-3 I give a death save to turn the lost limb into just a fractured or damaged one. Also, any injury requiring "magical healing" means lesser restoration, greater restoration or 6th+ level magic. With these 2 rule modifications you get a pretty dangerous game. Every battle in which a PC drops to zero can have a lasting effect. [/QUOTE]
