Unconsciousness & Death

A character becomes unconscious as soon as their HP becomes 0 (zero) or less. An unconscious character may not use any dice, stats or skills in defense of any attacks against them. They may not declare any actions. They simply lay there… unconscious.

Unconsciousness is not the same as sleeping. When sleeping, you would awaken after receiving an attack. Or, more likely, become awakened from disturbances nearby.

Character death occurs when their current HP falls below their total maximum HP in negative value. A character with 100HP will become unconscious at 0HP & will finally die at -100HP (negative 100 Hit Points).

If for any reason a character has a total maximum HP of 0, they die (Zero is equal to negative zero).
