      if he's stabbed while helpless that's a coup de grace: free crit and fortitude check (DC10 plus damage to not instantly die)
      though this rule does not officially exist in 5e, there are unofficial rules to cover it, free crit and prompting death saves

      Better to either explicitly separate plot wounds from normal combat wounds or only take level 0 hostages.

      @@tinkerer3399 I'd home brew that because DnD character's HP pool generally shows they haven't taken a 'serious wound' yet, nothing that couldn't be addressed by bandages or a basic healing spell and all that. In this case if someone has a sword to your neck/throat I might as a DM rule not only can they attack as a reaction (burrowing from anima) but it's counted as if it's a touch attack for the purposes of AC and depending on the wound type deals a flat percentage of your overall HP based on a D20 of course. Basically, you might survive but probably shouldn't try it if you're even close to half health.

    We also had a moment of "Don't daggers only do 2 damage?" but we also argue that when someone is obviously held in a helpless position any attack can be treated as a Coup de Grace. Home rulings like these are a GODSEND in games like GURPS or Shadowrun where any enemy you find yourself against is probably wearing so much armor a pistol won't even tickle him, but if you sneak up and put the gun up under his helmet, it's GOING to kill him regardless of damage.

    One of my favorite things is to make player deaths retroactively important: in one case, the dead guy was a prince who ran away in secret, and the rogue (his best friend,) used disguise to pretend to be him long enough to resolve a civil war, and create a republic.

    I hope brew that when you have someone tied up restrained(not the condition) or other wise fully incapacitated. Attacking to kill is instantly down to death saves. Like cutting someone’s throat shouldn’t be 1d4+dex and maybe sneak attack. Like damage in dnd is weird because normal people have 5 hp and a +1 to dex so it makes sense that a dagger only does 1d4. But at higher levels the damage scaling is insanely weird

      I tend to resort to a much simpler and older rule - referred to on TV Tropes as the Chunky Salsa Rule. "Any situation that would reduce a character's head to the consistency of chunky salsa dip is fatal, regardless of other rules."
      In other words - even if the hostage NPC is a 20th level Barbarian who's unconscious from a drug or the like and unable to rage, and the villain is able to take their time and properly open up an artery, then he's bleedin' out pretty damn quick. As in I'd just set them instantly to zero HP, regardless of how much they had, with one pre-failed death save. Harsh? Probably. But it means a hostage situation with a blade already pressed to a major artery has actual stakes to it.

    "What's your cleric's name?"
    "...Xerik."
    "Your cleric's named is Xerik?"
    "...yes."
    "Sounds a lot like cleric."
    "Maybe that's why he became a cleric."

    I remember my first character's death was in a last stand type of situation. The big bad and just retreated behind a gate that was dropped after she ran by. We were SUPPOSED to go around in order to catch up with her. Instead, my barbarian rolled a nat 20 strength check and lifted the nearly 1 ton gate of steel, if just barely. Everyone crawled through as enemies poured in to attack the barbarian which was al alone. In the end I think I killed at least 15 soliders before I kicked the bucket.
