So to summarize: "Should all characters be able to do all things?" or "Are class-exclusive abilities okay?" It seems obvious that a...

Unless there's blatant errors in the art (too many/few fingers, anachronistic elements, etc.) most of us plebes can't tell, and can't be...

It's in the 1e DMG. If you are reduced exactly to 0 HP, you do not die, but are unconscious and lose 1 HP per round until you reach -10...
