At the end of his turn, the crusader takes the 5 damage from his pool, lowering his hp to 12.  The Cleric Heals the crusader, curing 7HP, bringing him up to 19 hp. Orcs attack the crusader, doing 8 damage to him, lowering him to 4hp.Round 2Ogre attacks the crusader and hits for 9 damage, 5 going to his delayed damage pool, lowering him to 0HP. Crusader spends his action to recover a maneuver, and thanks to a feat, gains 6hp, raising him to 6. Cleric heals the crusader 7hp, rasing him to 13. Orcs attack the crusader again for 8 damage, crusader down to 5 hp.Round 3Ogre hits crusader for 10 damage, taking him to -5. Crusader rolls to stabalize and fails, lowering to -6.Cleric heals crusader for 7, bringing him up to 1hp. Orcs attack cleric for 8 dmg.Round 3Ogre hits crusader for 12 dmg, killing him. Cleric tactically withdrawsOrcs charge after, doing 8 dmgetc. Essentially, the DMs problem is either he isn't hitting you, or not hitting you hard enough.  As I see it, that feat only slows down death--- it does not prevent it, unless you have 1 opponent only hitting you for less damage than the stone power gives you per round.</blockquote>
