* The old [=DOS=] text-based game ''VideoGame/WizardsCastle'' has three stats for the player: Strength, Intelligence and Dexterity. Player death occurs whenever any of these fall to zero, though the strength stat gets the lion's share of fluxuations during gameplay. Intelligence can be reduced using the Fireball Spell, but won't lower it below 14, at which point no spell can be cast. The only other subtractors are the magic pools, three per level. Pools can add to or subtract from (randomly) any one stat by one point at a time. Notably, the player's purse of gold coins can fall to zero, but this isn't damaging, just inconvenient.

* In older editions of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', zero Constitution is fatal. Zero in Strength or Dexterity means you're physically helpless and immobile, but you can still use some mental or magic powers. Zero in any mental stat means you're comatose and drooling. Certain monsters do circumvent this, however: Anything that is entirely non-alive like golems and undead has null Constitution, anything that's utterly immobile has 0 Strength and Dexterity, and any completely mindless automaton following basic instructions can have 0 Intelligence.

* Given that ''Creator/BioWare'''s [[TabletopGame/DungeonsandDragons AD&D games]] follow the source material quite strictly in most cases, this is to be expected in games like ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'', ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIIShadowsOfAmn'', ''VideoGame/IcewindDale'', and others. However, your LEVEL dropping to 0 is also fatal, seeing your character simply blow apart as they're literally destroyed from the loss, and it's common for a number of powerful undead to drain a couple levels for hitting you. It's such a persistent deadly problem that it requires the sheer divine might of either ''Lesser Restoration'' or ''Restoration'', a mid-level or high-level spell respectively that utterly trashes your cleric until they can rest again just to even prevent your character from being completely destroyed.

** In mostgames in the ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness'' game lines, having your Stamina brought to zero causes you to swiftly weaken and die of illness in days. Similarly, if your KarmaMeter (Humanity for vampires/Prometheans, Morality for mortals, etc.) hits zero, the character becomes a monster, either literally (vampires) or figuratively (most everything else). They may not die, but they become unplayable.

Middle-aged characters start to make annual dice rolls to avoid life-threatening maladies; they also get a new "Decreptiude" ability score that increases over time. At Decrepitude 5, the character is on their deathbed and beyond the reach of mortal magic to save.

* Zigzagged in the first two ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' games: under normal circumstances, stat loss cannot drop any primary stat below 1 (or 2 if the stat in question is boosted by a trait). However, if the stat loss is caused by radiation sickness and it would drop any primary stat to 0 or negative, the player character keels over instantly, even if they haven't actually reached deadly dose yet.

* ''{{Exalted}}'': An interesting case where there is a [[MagiBabble long-winded explanation]] about this sort of demise, and nothing to do with your Stamina having just been reduced to 0. All ''sapient'' beings possess five graces: Heart (Willpower), Sword (Valor), Ring (Temperance), Cup (Compassion), and Staff (Conviction).

This is not something that Creation-born have to worry about, but they can still have StatDeath if all their ''other'' graces are reduced to 0, which is usually the result of being soul-ravished by the aforementioned dream-creature.
