Looking for a little clarification on Blood of the Berserker. What happens when you hit zero? Like you can keep doing everything normal but you still make death saves? How would you get the incapacitated condition then?
Could you please copy the feature so that I (and anyone else who doesn't have the book) can see it?
When you hit zero, you remain conscious and can still take actions as normal. However, you still are required to make death saving throws at the start of each of your turns. If you get three failures, you are dead. Notably, unlike prior editions, you cannot go into negative hit points - so if you get hit with an attack, you suffer one automatic death save failure (two if the hit is a crit). This means enemies can pretty quickly finish you off in this state.
Other effects might confer the incapacitated condition (such as a monster special ability). If you receive the incapacitated condition, you would fall unconscious as any dying player would.
Historically, copyright rules on the forum do not permit copying the text of purchased content, so someone with the book has to answer the question.
Yes, you do everything as usual until you have three failed saves. If you get hit with an attack, instead of losing health, you have an automatic failed death save. If you fail the save for a condition that would incapacitate you (paralysis, for example), you go unconcious like you would have if you hadn't had the Blood of tthe Berzerker.
