If they are already at Death's Door, they are killed immediately. This forces them to go to Death's Door immediately. If a character gets pushed to 200 Stress, they receive a Heart attack.

When they are healed above 0 HP, the severe Death's Door stat penalties are removed, but they will still suffer from (less severe) Death's Door Recovery penalties these penalties typically last until the quest is completed, but can be eliminated by using certain camping skills that remove mortality debuffs. Even if a hero has trinkets or quirks that provide an additional 30% Death Blow resistance, resulting in an expected resist of 95% (67% + 30%), it is still capped at 85%.Ī hero will no longer be at Death's Door if they receive at least 1 HP of healing (so that they are no longer at 0 HP). Resistance to Death Blow is limited to a maximum of 85%. Failing this resistance test results in Death.

The unmodified base chance of dying from further damage is 33% (due to 67% basic Death Blow resist without any special quirks or trinkets). While in this state, they will suffer severe stat penalties, plus the hero has to pass a Death Blow resistance test if they take any further damage.

When a hero is reduced to 0 HP, they fall into Death's Door.
