Dying

[Ironnerd]

Adventuring is dangerous work, and death should always be a threat in any adventure. Normally a character simply dies when he or she runs out of hit points. BE+ offers some variety to what happens when HP’s reach zero.
First, the player rolls a CON save for the character. If the save is successful, the character’s Hit Points is set to 1. If the save fails, roll 1d20 and consult the table below.
