* When interacting with effects like {{SAI|Death Ward}} and dealing multiple attacks to the same creature, assuming the 1st attack was sufficient to {{Cond|Downed|down}} the target the 2nd attack appears to apply before the {{SAI|Death Ward}} activates, which means that after 2 attacks the target would lose the {{SAI|Death Ward}} but remain with 1HP. If the initial attack would have 3 applications then the target would be {{Cond|Downed|downed}} on 1st attack and again on 3rd attack. In case of Avatars it means that, whilst having a {{SAI|Death Ward}} applied, they would need to receive 6 attack applications to fully die: 2 to break down the ward, 1 to get downed and 3 more to fail 3 Death Saves. This effect seems to apply to all multi-application attacks, like {{SAI|Magic Missile}} and {{SAI|Eldritch Blast}} (as of 4.1.1.3669438).
