Death Ward: Difference between revisions

| notes = * When the creature affected is hit with spells like [[Magic Missile]] and is receiving multiple attacks as part of one spell, assuming the 1st attack was sufficient to [[Downed_(Condition)|down]] the creature with [[Death Ward]] applied, the 2nd attack appears to apply before the [[Death Ward]] activates, which means that after 2 attacks the creature would lose the [[Death Ward]] but remain with 1HP. If the initial attack would have 3 applications then the creature would be [[Downed_(Condition)|downed]] on 1st attack and again on 3rd attack. In case of Avatars it means that, whilst having a [[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 [[Scorching Ray]] and [[Eldritch Blast]] (as of 4.1.1.3669438).
