I would suggest a deeper more wounds overlay if possible.
I do have a number of death in my games (last one was a PC being absorbed by a Gibbering Mouther....) and a skull image popping up when the character is actually dead is a more visual image. So yes my vote would be for more distinctive wounds being shown to both the GM and the PC's.
I'm not an artist, so my ability to make nice looking graphics is limited to my ability to google :D
That said, I did a quick combination of the critical overlay and the dead skull.
or I could get even more fancy, and have 3 stages of skull for the number of failed death saves.
I would suggest one stage - more fun for the players to guess how many saves.
Thank you very much.
This could work for "Dying" / Bleeding Out.
And another mattekure essential. Thanks
that would be nice, as long as the extension stays streamlined. Let's try to avoid complications! As it is, this extension is compatible with pretty much every extension.Quote:

Maybe with a little splash of blood over one corner to add that extra touch of information about what sort of danger it is.
Dunno if showing "stable" is possible as-is, but a bandage icon would work well for that purpose.
I will take a look at making some DnD friendly Icons, more on the realistic and gritty side of things. Exhausted from work right now, will do so at the weekend.
