Warforged death save bonus

Like: "HA HA, YOU THINK SIMPLE BLADES AND BOWS CAN STOP THE RAGING STORM!"



Not if they are warforged. HA!

If you're a Warforged Warden, I'd suggest going the alternate round, and drop down saying "I'll BE BACK".

Bonus saves that are failures don't adversely affect you in ways that saves at the end of your turn that are failures might.

I missed this - where was it stated?

I agree with Flip. Rolling a 20 on a save ends the dying condition, so dying is an effect a save can end. Font of life might let your warforged get up before his turn.

A 20 on a save while you're dying lets you spend a healing surge (if you have one), it doesn't end the condition per se.

PHB2, in the rules addendum.

Actually, rolling a 20 brings you to 0 hit points and allows you to spend a healing surge. So it does end the effect, per se.

No, if you don't have a healing surge left, your hit point total doesn't change and your dying condition isn't ended. Besides, if it was a condition that a save could end, it would end on any roll of 10 or above.

Well, I did mean "if you have a healing surge left" but ok, I see your point.

Not quite. Healing automatically starts at 0 hp if you're in the negatives, rolling a 20 on your death save has nothing to do with it. You'd start at 0 hp if the cleric cast cure light wounds on you, or the paladin used lay on hands to revive you. Rolling the 20 allows you to heal, that's it. It's the act of rising to above 0 hp that ends the dying condition, not a save.

No, if you don't have a healing surge left, your hit point total doesn't change and your dying condition isn't ended. Besides, if it was a condition that a save could end, it would end on any roll of 10 or above.

Also this.

I like this mechanic

warforged can lay hundreds of years unconscious because they were dropped at a unfortunate place

maybe after a (near) TPK in a dungeon... and the replacement party can find him again^^
