Can you be healed or stabilized (if downed) while petrified?

$begingroup$


I just posted this question about whether you continue making death saving throws while petrified if you are at 0 HP. The answer was yes. But I thought of another question:



If you are downed and petrified, you must still make death saving throws. Can you receive healing or Medicine checks in order to stabilize you (so you stop making death saving throws) while in this condition?



In addition, if you survive, are you able to recover hit points either by healing magic (from other PC), potions, taking a long rest, or spending hit dice on a short rest? I mean, are you able to recover hit points by any source of healing while petrified?

          Yes you can be healed or stabilised while petrified



          The condition petrified states the following:





          • A petrified creature is transformed, along with any nonmagical object is is wearing of carrying, into a solid inanimate substance (usually stone). Its weight increases by a factor of ten, and it ceases aging.

          • The creature is incapacitated (see the condition), can't move or speak, and is unaware of its surroundings.

          • Attacks rolls against the creature have advantage.

          • The creature automatically fails Strength and Dexterity savings throws.

          • The creature is immune to poison and disease, although a poison or disease already in its system is suspend, not neutralized.




          There is no restriction placed on healing or casting spells on a petrified creature. You are still a creature, you can be targeted by attacks so you can be targeted by healing too, as (unofficially) confirmed by this tweet:




          Neither the petrified condition nor the flesh to stone spell turns you into an object. You are a creature subjected to the petrified condition (PH, 291). #DND




          Thanks @Rubiksmoose for the link



          You cannot take actions or bonus action as you are incapacitated so you can't heal yourself other than by taking a short or long rest. Healing spells from others and potions will still work.

                    A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

                    Image
                    0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
