Death Saves/Hero Tokens

Death Saves

When dealing with Death Saves (depending on the game) the Referee will roll death saves for the players to decrease meta gaming, increase tension, and teamwork. While a player is in this state, the creature will meet the reaper. For every failed roll, the reaper will land a hit and every success will be a miss. This is revealed after either healing or the three successes. Death Saves reset on a short rest or long rests.

Hero Tokens

When a character completely dies valiantly, the player receives one Hero Token for his/her next character. Players can only have one at a time. If an opportunity approaches and that player still has one, it will replace the old one. In the DMG page 264. Hero point(s) (or Hero Tokens in this case) grants a one time use of a d6 to any roll. This includes death saves. You can only have one at a time.

A valiant death, sole survivor, or epic decisions grants a chance of getting a Hero Token.
