Are we doing a live test? It's up to you. Do you want to hear the rest of it first? Do you want to think now? Like, I'm open.

Yeah, you'd have to. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. The thing I so I did think about that ally aspect, but I sort of discounted as this is early enough that, you know, I'm sure Michael go back and check on this because he's more than a competent designer. But you're right. It's a thing that you have to ask yourself, am I causing trouble by adding this? And what's the benefit of adding this?

no ally no enemy thing and maybe he's going to dig in a lot more into that sort of rules angle elsewhere in the game and therefore this makes sense but you have to do that due diligence and go through everything to make sure it still works um yeah

it's also interesting the kind of all these features you end i was trying to remember where in 2024 5e it tells you that all that happens the only thing i see is being incapacitated your concentration is broken and maybe that's how they're sort of covering all of it so here you're kind of stating this and sometimes in stating it that's also you've got to look through all this like

features you control. So if it's a feature you don't control, it's still active. Someone else put it on you, that's okay. You know, you have to think through these things. The failed death saves is interesting, right? So the very clear thing is three failed saves was death. Now you get an extra layer, right? The third one is now half hit points.

So here, you know, and then you're kind of like, well, why does that matter, right? And most battles with this even matter. Well, it's going to matter because, spoiler, Your failed death saves don't reset after an encounter. You're going to carry them forward. So that's why this is happening. And just at this point, what I immediately thought was.

But taking damage when you are dying advances this track still. And I don't know for sure I'd have to play test and find out, but I would probably take that out because my that is the number one thing that I see that actually kills a character. is you have a death save, you take damage from a couple of sources, and you're out. You're done, right?

You're done, right?

And that's the biggest problem, is just multiple sources of damage. That's very easy to happen, and if this track never resets, you know, being down and taking another point of damage, you're just, you know, two combats and you could be out of there. But, but that assumes that you're even going down in the first place and getting characters to go unconscious can be rare.

As, as I think you said recently, so rare that, uh, people will say that their character's dead when they're unconscious, right? Because, right. Yeah.

Right, so hearing what you're saying, this third failed death save that makes your hit points halved, that's actually pretty severe when you realize it continues past the encounter, right? Yes. That's like being hit by, you know, one of these life drain undead. Yeah. And the rest of the, you know, day is going to be like that. That's severe, right?
