I'm wondering two things about this ability for Zombies:
1. does this apply just when a zombie is dropped to exactly 0 hp- or for any attack that drops it below 0?
2. do I roll that saving throw every time it hits 0 hp, or just the first time?
I'm wondering, because I fought some Ash Zombies in the ruins of Thunder Tree today, and I applied it each time. The zombies rolled very well, and 2 of them were struck in a whack a mole loop at 1 hp for 3 rounds, lol. It was beginning to get annoying- "THESE THINGS WON'T FREAKING DIE!!!" lol. Could have caused some real hurt, if they weren't trying to gang up on the cleric- who had protection from evil active. They never hit him, but eventually, if you make enough rolls...
