[RPG] Does the Divine Soul sorcerer’s Favored by the Gods bonus work with death saving throws

The easiest way to gain advantage on a death saving throw is to use inspiration.

If you have inspiration, you can expend it when you make an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check. Spending your inspiration gives you advantage on that roll.

Alternatively, you could be a Wild Magic Sorcerer, and use Tides of Chaos. Well, probably.

Starting at 1st level, you can manipulate the forces of chance and chaos to gain advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw.

The 3rd- level spell Beacon of Hope explicitly grants advantage on death saving throws for its duration.

Fighters can use Indomitable to reroll a failed saving throw - not precisely the same as advantage, but pretty close.

Beginning at 9th level, you can reroll a saving throw that you fail.

There are almost certainly more options that I've missed - getting advantage on things is a pretty fundamental part of 5e.

A Death Save is, in fact, a save so bonuses to "all saves" apply to them as well. Just like a Monk gaining proficiency in "all saves" means they apply their proficiency bonus to Death Saves as well starting at Level 14.

The intent of the wording for Death Saves seems to make them special but it is only in the fact that your proficiency bonus is not added nor are they tied to a specific ability. No class starts at 1st level with proficiency in Death Saves. Monks gain it much later. Other bonuses applying to all saves such as the Paladin's ability and Rings/Cloaks of Protection will apply to them as normal.

PHB p. 197 says:

You are in the hands of fate now, aided only by spells and features that improve your chances of succeeding on a saving throw.

Normally, a natural 1 is not a failure for a saving throw however the more specific verbiage for Death Saves trumps this. So even if you somehow have a +9 to Death Saves you will still suffer 2 failures unless you have some other mitigating factor such as something that automatically stabilizes you.

All of this intent is substantiated by Jeremy Crawford (thanks @NautArch):

Aura of Protection benefits saving throws. A death saving throw is a saving throw.
