Death Threshold

Death Threshold is the point at which a character is considered permanently dead and cannot be brought back to life by ordinary means. The Death Threshold is calculated as the negative value of the character’s base HP. Falling below this point normally results in permanent death, while falling below 0 HP but above the Death Threshold results in a temporary state of being Swooned.

Example: A character with a base HP of 45 becomes Swooned at 0 HP. If their HP drops below the Death Threshold of -45, they become Dead and are considered permanently dead.

Note: Falling below 0 HP temporarily places the character in a Swooned state, while falling below the Death Threshold applies the Dead condition.
