Death walks amongst us

 here is a suggestion for using conditions instead of death saves in Dragonbane

Once a character drops to zero hit points

• At the start of their turn the player makes a CON roll to see if they can avoid receiving a new condition. 
• If the character chooses to take an action on there turn this roll is made with a bane
• A failure means they receive one new condition of of there choice  
• A dragon means they can shrug off one condition 
• A demon means they receive 2 conditions
• Any damage means they receive an additional condition
• A crit means they receive 2 conditions 
• Once all 6 conditions are taken the character is dead
• Another character can take an action to rally the player giving them a boon on the condition check
