→Dropping to 0 Hit Points
===Falling Unconscious===
If damage reduces you to 0 hit points and fails to kill you, you fall [[SRD5:UnconciousUnconscious|unconscious]] (see appendix PH-A). This unconsciousness ends if you regain any hit points.
===Death Saving Throws===
Most GMs have a monster die the instant it drops to 0 hit points, rather than having it fall unconscious and make death saving throws.
Mighty villains and special nonplayer characters are common exceptions; the GM might have them fall unconscious and follow the same rules as player characters.
==Knocking a Creature Out==
