* When interacting with effects like {{SAI|Death Ward}} and dealing multiple attacks to the same creature, if the 1st attack was sufficient to {{Cond|Downed|down}} the target, the 2nd attack will apply before{{SAI|Death Ward}} activates leaving the target with 1HP. An action with three attacks, however, would result in the creature being downed. A player character with {{SAI|Death Ward}} applied would need to receive 6 attack applications to fully die: 2 to break the ward, 1 to get downed, then 3 more to fail 3 [[Death Saving Throw]]s. This effect seems to apply to all multi-application attacks such {{SAI|Scorching Ray}} and {{SAI|Eldritch Blast}} (as of 4.1.1.3669438).
