There's a lot of person A saying "if they referred to [game mechanic] as [in-game phrase], I would be okay with it." Then person B says "but [in-game-phrase] doesn't mean [game mechanic], it means ..." As long as the DM thinks there is an in-game phrase for the game mechanic, and is clear on what the player wants to do, I would say it's okay. I don't think there is an objective way to map game mechanics to in-game phrasing, as the in-game phrasing is often particular to the table. At my table, I don't say anything when there is a failed death save, it's totally secret. That is obviously not the case for all tables. Hell, the way 5E is written, we often don't have an objective way of saying what a given game mechanic means.</p></blockquote><p></p>
