Do you continue making death saving throws while petrified?

Say you are playing a character, and they are downed (0 HP) and in that moment, they get turned into stone (petrified).



Does the character continue making death saving throws while petrified? Or do they resume making death saves only after they are turned back?

Yes you continue to make death saves while petrified



The condition petrified states the following:





  • A petrified creature is transformed, along with any nonmagical object is is wearing of carrying, into a solid inanimate substance (usually stone). Its weight increases by a factor of ten, and it ceases aging.

  • The creature is incapacitated (see the condition), can't move or speak, and is unaware of its surroundings.

  • Attacks rolls against the creature have advantage.

  • The creature automatically fails Strength and Dexterity savings throws.

  • The creature is immune to poison and disease, although a poison or disease already in its system is suspend, not neutralized.




You are not immune to damage and can be killed while petrified. Therefore you must continue to make saving throws against death.

            Boot-repair Failure: Unable to locate package grub-common:i386

            0 I am on a system dual-booting Windows and Debian (usually using the latter), and a recent Windows update appears to have wreaked havoc on the Debian boot system. I managed to boot Windows again, but not Linux. Following online suggestions, I created a Live USB of Ubuntu, and booted from that. Then I have installed and run the boot-repair utility. The utility instructs me to type several lines including sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda6" apt-get purge -y grub*-common grub-common:i386 To which I receive the error E: Unable to locate package grub-common:i386 I am given to understand the issue may have to do with having UEFI vs BIOS (I believe I have UEFI), but do not understand this well.
