Dismissible Spells and Unconsciousness

[Rassilon]

Does falling unconscious end dismissable spells? Does dying? I used to be able to cite the references to back up the answer, now I can't remember the answer itself.

Thanks,

Rassilon.

No, it's a standard action to dismiss a spell. You can't do standard actions while you're unconcious (normally; I think there's a feat that allows you to use psionic powers while unconcious).

Being knocked-out would end Concentration spells, though.

Heavens no. A dismissable spell only ends when a caster takes a standard action to end the spell.

Killing the caster who Charmed your barbarian is makes the situation worse, not better.
