Originally I just planned to do the Thing from the Stars, as it is easily the coolest monster to come out of the new Color of Madness DLC! But on creating it I realized I’d have to create the Crystalline Aberrations it spawns and from there I just decided to include a nice little selection of the new enemy type: Husks.Īlso this is D&D, so while in game the husks and crystals mostly hit you with a little blight damage… I took more inspiration from the lore surrounding them and being infested by crystals and turned into a husk is something you will have to fear! Here’s the third and last of the planned Darkest Dungeon monster pages (that is to say unless more end up being requested). Furthermore, every failed Death Saving Throw translates to one level of exhaustion.Darkest Dungeon: Crystalline Husks (and the Thing from the Stars) v1.00. You lose them after you finish a long rest.

After you reach 3 successful Death Saves you are stabilized and no longer dying, but you keep all the conditions - prone, incapacitated, unconscious - your character had at that moment. Once you fail 3 death saving throws, you die.ĥ. If at any moment you have more failed death saving throws than successful ones you are unconscious but when you balance passed and failed saves you wake upĤ. First failed Death Saving Throw makes you incapacitated with all that condition entailsģ.

When you reach 0 hp you fall on the ground, lose concentration of whatever spell you were concentrating on and you're prone with all that condition gives you and unable to stand up - but you are still conscious, can crawl and take actions or reactions.Ģ. I can no longer find it but I saw a website discussing how to make grittier, more dramatic Death Saving Throws, possibly in pair with Tomb of Annihilation Slaughterhouse mode which raises saving throw roll to 15.ġ.
