 === Death ===
-* There is no instant death mechanic. A party member reduced to 0 hit points is knocked unconscious, regardless of whether the remaining damage exceeds their hit point maximum. There are ways to instantly die (falling into a chasm, displeasing [[Vlaakith|a certain bitchy demigod]]).
+* Party members cannot instantly die from damage: a party member reduced to 0 hit points is knocked unconscious, regardless of whether the remaining damage exceeds their hit point maximum. There are other ways to instantly die (falling into a chasm, displeasing [[Vlaakith|a certain demigod]]).
 ** Only party members ever make death saving throws. Other characters, including important NPCs, are killed outright when their health is reduced to 0 by lethal damage, and cannot be resurrected.
