So here is a question.
Let's say a cleric has the spell Contigency - Heal ready. The terms "When I reach negative hit points I am healed".
Here are the assumptions:
Heal will return 150 HP
Max HP: 200
Current HP: 20
Damage to be taken in the next attack: 50
So the player get's attacked and would naturally be dropped to -30 HP. Contingency Heal kicks in, but is the player already dead or does he benefit from it?
I think he would benefit from it, saying that to get to -30, the player needs to go through -1, -2, -3, -4....-10, -11, -12, etc et all. This make it so the instant (micro-fraction of a second) the player gets to -1 Heal kicks in, and gives him the hit points. Since the player would have been at -30, and heal gives 150, the player is at 120.
Are there any rules supporting or denying this? My DM says you go INSTANTLY (with nothing in between) from 20 to -30 HP.
