The Philosopher’s Stone is fused to your chest. It holds the souls of its past bearers, and it seals away the shadow self your father planted inside you.
The Stone’s Elixir. When you’re reduced to 0 Hit Points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 Hit Point instead. Once you use this benefit, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.
Each time you use this benefit, the seal weakens and the DM gains 1 Seal Crack.

The Other Awakens. While you’re making Death Saving Throws, the sealed self takes over if you roll a 1 on the d20, or if the DM spends 1 Seal Crack. You regain Hit Points equal to twice your Warlock level, and you can take your next turn normally. During that turn, the DM controls your movement and chooses your targets, and you must attack the nearest creature the Other sees as a threat. At the end of that turn, you regain control and gain 1 level of Exhaustion.

Seal Cracks. The DM tracks Seal Cracks. They don’t reset when you finish a rest, and the DM can spend them only as described above or for story events tied to the seal.
