[QUOTE="Gez, post: 521725, member: 1328"] Were I to houserule, here's the system I would go with: Massive Damage Threshold equals 2 times Constitution score. It is further multiplied this way: Fine /8 Diminutive /4 Tiny /2 Small ×1 Medium ×1 Large ×1 Huge ×2 Gargantuan ×4 Colossal ×8 Hence, a colossal creature's MDT is equal to 16 times its Constitution score. The save is at a fixed DC of 20. If failed, the character is reduced to -1 hp (if he wasn't already in the negative). Agony has been house-ruled as well. You roll for stabilisation every Constitution rounds (1 minute for a 10 Con). Stabilizing someone with a Heal check requires 10 consecutive full-round actions. It is possible for someone to be technically dead (at -10) and yet perform one "last breath" free action (like saying "my murderer is... aargh") during the Wisdom rounds after the last failed stabilization check. (Technically dead means at this point, it's too late for healing, even magical. So, the last breath action could not be casting a quickened [i]cure light wounds[/i] on oneself, as that would not work.) Stabilization check is no more a 10% chance for everyone, but a Fortitude save DC 20. [/QUOTE]
