Do you continue making death saving throws while petrified?

$begingroup$


Say you are playing a character, and they are downed (0 HP) and in that moment, they get turned into stone (petrified).



Does the character continue making death saving throws while petrified? Or do they resume making death saves only after they are turned back?

Yes you continue to make death saves 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.




You are not immune to damage and can be killed while petrified. Therefore you must continue to make saving throws against death.

            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{...
