The line between life and death is perilously thin. To heighten tension and deepen immersion, we have modified the D&D Death Save mechanics.
Hidden Death Saves: The Game Master (GM) will privately roll and track a PC's Death Saves, keeping their fate uncertain.
Fading Memories: On their turn, a dying character may recall a defining moment from their past—a lingering regret, a lost love, or a painful failure—offering a glimpse into their soul’s journey.
Exhaustion from the Brink: Each time a PC drops to zero hit points, they gain one level of exhaustion. A short rest removes one level, while a long rest eliminates all accumulated exhaustion.
