they succeed on the saving throw they take half damage.
Shell Shock
At level 6, when a creature is affected by explosive death it
must make another saving throw even if it succeeded the
dexterity saving throw from explosive death. The new saving
throw is a wisdom saving throw versus your spell save DC. If
they fail this one they are frightened for 1 minute of all hostile
creatures. If they succeed they aren't frightened. They can
redo this saving throw at the end of thier turn or if they are
dealth damage.
Don't Kill the Messenger

affected by solidified summon to reach 0 hit points
prematurely. You can only do this once per long rest. When
you do so all creatures in a 30 foot radius take additional
piercing damage equal to a number of d6s equal to your level
in this class. A creature may make a dexterity saving throw
versus your spell save DC. If they fail they take the full
damage. If they succeed they take half damage. Explosive
death still triggers.
Special Flames
At level 17, the fire damage from explosive death burns
brighter than ever before. Saves to resist are made with
disadvantage. Saves to resist the aptly themed don't kill the
messenger are made with disadvantage. Also explosive death
ignores fire resistance.
You may also shape the blasts so creatures of your choice
make their saves with advantage.
