May 3, 2018 at 12:36	comment	added	SeriousBri		@nwp I don't think it matters if an attack roll is needed or not, the linked post seems fairly clear to me that each hit is a 'source of damage' and is resolved separately.

It essentially says "Whenever an attack is made it counts as 1 source of damage", but Magic Missile doesn't make an attack (no attack roll), so the question of whether that is 1 or 3 failed death saving throws remains unanswered.
