Did you Die?

Am I dead?

In this custom rule, the DM rolls death saves for the player until the last save. This creates a sense of tension between rounds and allows other players to react without having meta knowledge of the player's currrent status.

What does this mean for me as a player?

This could be the last roll before stabilizing OR your imminent death. The player chooses the dice and rolls the save. Based on success or failure the DM will narrate the result.

"No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise." - J.R.R. Tolkien
