Talk:5e House Rules

What if the elf death save ability is changed to "when failing a death save, you may choose to ignore the failure. Once used, this ability cannot be used again until the next short or long rest." It makes it a bit better, but streamlines it a bit since it allows the consciousness clause to be removed. -slitherrr (talk)

I like it. It also means a small tactical choice in that you might want to allow the first failure in order to cover from an autokill 1 on the next roll. -gm

Right on, I'll commit. -slitherrr (talk)
