Deathless Frenzy

[0-hr]

MotW says

the frenzied berserker can scorn death and unconsciousness while in a frenzy. Should her hit points fall to 0 or below because of hit point loss, she continues to fight normally until her frenzy ends...

What effect does subdual damage have on this? My first thought is that subdual damage doesn't reduce hitpoints, it accumulates a separate total and causes unconsiousness when it exceeds the current hit point total. But that bit about "scorning unconsciousness", combined with my suspicion that my method of tracking subdual damage might just be a bookeeping thing, makes me unsure.

There's nothing concrete about this, but I'd say the spirit of the ability intends that the Frenzied Berserker would keep fighting regardless of his subdual damage while in a frenzy.

After all, if you can't kill him with real damage, how does it make sense to be able to knock him out with the flat of your blade?
