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.Ultimate License

I'm not an artist, so my ability to make nice looking graphics is limited to my ability to google
That said, I did a quick combination of the critical overlay and the dead skull.Last edited by mattekure; February 26th, 2021 at 01:07.

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.

This could work for "Dying" / Bleeding Out.

Not exactly themed to D&D, so probably not for everyone, but I think the classic yellow-triangle-with-an-exclamation-mark warning sign would be a perfectly serviceable indicator for dying. That would let players know instantly that the character is in danger but not yet dead. 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.
