[QUOTE="OB1, post: 8269800, member: 6796241"] This is precisely what I meant. Right, should have clarified that I'm okay with an in combat death spiral, but want to avoid that carrying over into other encounters (and why I thought the suggestion to get rid of the tiers and have a single 10 minute period was a good one, and really, the more I think about it the more I think a single minute would be fine). And now I've had another thought. Instead of Unconscious, what if the PC was under the effect of SLOW for 1 hour (or until fully healed or greater restoration cast). Half speed, -2 AC and Dex Save, no reaction, 1 Action (single weapon attack) or one Bonus. Roll for spells this round or next round. Not as severe as being unconscious, still a serious penalty, but a chance for heroics and a new set of tactics to compensate should you find yourself in that position. Feels very cinematic, the fallen warrior who gets back up but isn't at full strength, yet fights on... [/QUOTE]
