Before we dive into any changes, let's review the basic rules first. Death Saves in D&D 5e: What they are and how to use them . Death saving throws are an important part of Dungeons & Dragons 5e.

Think Critical Failures.. So what about the game. The team either arrived in Ibidan or were born there, in a time where being Empowered was illegal....
