[QUOTE="Al'Kelhar, post: 4846141, member: 7884"] Ay, there's the rub... I and I suspect a few others on these boards are stout defenders of Rule 0. This is not to say that a DM who is arbitrary and capricious in his or her rulings deserves anything less than a player walk-out, but I have, and will continue to, rule that oozes can't be knocked prone, insubstantial creatures cannot be forced to move by Strength attacks, and that bloodied and dying are mutually exclusive states of being. And "anything at all I feel like" at the time. "But the rules say I can/don't say I can't..." is the whine of the player who is quickly shown the door in my game. Oddly, I still happen to have a great bunch of players show up at my place every week for more of my arbitrary and capricious rulings... As this is a rules forum, I concur with your RAW interpretation of the bloodied vs. dying rule within an exception-based design paradigm. Cheers, Al'Kelhar [/QUOTE]
