=== Death saving throws ===
Death saving throws are a special type of saving throw made by playable characters and companions after they have been {{cond|Downed}}. Death saves are made once per turn while the character remains Downed, and when the character takes damage while Downed. Three successful saves will let a creature stabilize, no longer needing to make death saves to survive, and three failures will lead to the creature becoming {{cond|Dead}}.  
Death saving throws are a special type of saving throw made by playable characters after they have been {{cond|Downed}}. Death saves are made once per turn while the character remains Downed. If a Downed character receives damage from any source that isn't a critical hit, they automatically fail one death saving throw. A critical hit against a Downed character results in 2 failed saves. Melee attacks against a Downed target are always classified as a critical hit.

Death saving throws are not associated with an ability score and so don't get any modifiers, nor do they benefit from the proficiency bonus. They only benefit from bonuses that apply to all saving throws (such as {{SAI|Bless}}) or specifically to death saves (such as [[Family Ring]]). Death saves are always DC 10. A character dies when three failures are accumulated, or stabilizes when three successes are accumulated, whichever happens first.
