[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9604967, member: 54629"] Even that one is gone! You don't age if you badly fail your save against a 2024 ghost's scary face. Good question! I think only the Night Hag's Nightmare Haunting does not. This is what I've been able to find: [LIST] [*][I][B]Harm [/B][/I][B]spell[/B]: Con save (note: this spell can't reduce HP Max below 1) [*][B][B]Blue Slaad[/B]: [/B]Con save (and your HP Max doesn't reset after a long rest while you are still cursed) [*][B]Chasme[/B]: Requires a successful attack roll; no save [*][B]Clay Golem: [/B]Requires a successful attack roll; no save [*][B]Death Dog[/B]: Con saves (and your HP Max doesn't[I] [/I]reset after a long rest if you are still poisoned) [*][B]Death Knight: [/B]Con save [*][B]Demilich[/B]: Con save (for both its Energy Drain legendary action and Enervating Domain lair effect) [*][B]Gulthias Blight[/B]: Con save to resist initial damage / grapple but then damage and HP Max reduction becomes automatic while you are grappled [*][B]Mummy[/B]: Requires a successful attack roll; no save (and it also specifies that your HP Max doesn't reset after a long rest) [*][B]Mummy Lord: [/B]Requires a successful attack roll; no save (and no long rests while cursed!) [*][B]Night Hag: [/B]Wis save for [I]Dream [/I]spell damage (which also reduces HP Max in this case) [*][B]Otyugh: [/B]Con save (and HP Max doesn't reset while you are poisoned) [*][B]Specter[/B]: Requires a successful attack roll; no save [*][B]Succubus: [/B]Con save technically but your HP Max reduces whether you pass or fail the save! [*][B]Vampire[/B]: Con save [*][B]Vampire Spawn[/B]: Con save [*][B]Vampire Nightbringer[/B]: Requires a successful attack roll; no save [*][B]Vampire Umbral Lord[/B]: Con save [*][B]Wight[/B]: Con save [*][B]Wraith: [/B]Requires a successful attack roll; no save [/LIST] I think it's because hit points and Constitution are both representative of a creature's health and vitality.
