The conscious guy opens himself up for more attacks than the unconscious guy, but each are from a rules perspective, just as close and accessible to an attacker.There are rules that are not plausible. But they are there for fun, balance, or other reasons. Cleave is an example. If I hit this foe, I always damage that foe. That's not plausible. But, we hand wave it away.</blockquote>
