i agree if they let us do it in combat it should be possible out of it.

All you need is extra rules. For bodies effects. i think the game already has tags for damage to bodies liked burned acid and others.
I think it's used with talk to dead, same thing should be done here for res or antidote and others like disease and curses. IF roll fails the first time you can't help the target anymore, simple... But it would mean they would have to add new lines of txt and maybe an item or two to npcs and some quests nothing outside of realms of possibility.

BG 2 had lots of similar npcs you could save or not... One of better known ones is the Glaicas Guard captain in De'Arnise Keep and many others. Works great in bg 3 as well already like with Efrin in hags lair...
