Don't get me wrong here - of course you don't need a rule for everything.But if you had my players..."You can't heal him. Let him male a deathbed speech.""But he's still alive. Why can't I heal him?""Because he's making his deathbed speech.""But that's stupid. I can save him. I'll just cast a cure minor wounds...""Look, he's dead.""So he's on -10?""Yes.""So how can he still be speaking? He's dead."Et cetera. My players don't get 'good narrative' all the time (except when it benefits them). They want to be able to do whatever they want, which includes saving dying characters when they want them alive.If it was a villain, going "I'll be back" or something, of course, they wouldn't have a problem. Which is why I want a rule, just so there's some consistency. However, "screw the rules" is a perfectly good response to my question.</blockquote>
