You can be floored on your own initiative by an AOO or on someone elses [any] initiative. Therefore the time between the moment you get floored til the time you die won't be consistent. (Edit: Oh, I seem to have misunderstood <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />. A round is a round, agreed.)However, as I stated above; that's not my problem with your suggestion. The problem is that doing it your way virtually guarantees that you will be saved. Ie. every ally in the vicinity will have a shot at saving you.You are absolutely right about the phrasing. I'll get right to it. Thanks. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Naturally a dying character can't take an action of any kind.By the way. Yes, sometimes there will be time enough for several characters to attempt ...cpr? and at other times no one will have the opportunity. Perhaps it's a bit unfair - but hey, it it weren't for this rule they'd die instantly, right?The reason I advocate this idea is that it will have a minimum impact on the game (and it's precious balance) but still allow for some characters to be saved if allies react quickly. We will try it out in my party and if it doesn't work we'll try your idea instead.Alright, here goes - take it apart:Death's Door (Optional rule)Even seconds after death occurs it is possible to save a character. Until the soul has departed a Heal check (DC 20) or any sort of healing that cures at least 10 points of damage revives the character and stabilizes the character at -9 hp. The soul will depart as soon as the dead character would have a standard action available if he was alive. The soul cannot be affected by spells in anyway so it's impossible to delay the departure of the soul by the use of a slow-spell, for example.</blockquote>
