If left to your own devices (that is no one to aid you), you are stabilized but not yet conscious. You then have to start making 10% chance hourly checks to regain consciousness - losing a hit point each time if you fail. On your own, chances are you're not going to make it - and if you do, it was a ***miracle. In a group situation with a cleric, curing wand or potion, you are going to be getting this divine healing. You aren't going to have people go, "hmmm... let's leave him for a bit and see if he gets better". The bolt in the eye character is going to get the healing and no one's sense of verisimilitude has been upset (providing that such miraculous healing is possible in your game).and thus why none of the character's in the games you have played suffered anything worse than an injury that they can "grit it out", walking around soon after unimpeded. I think 3E offers you a little more variety in this regard. It is far from perfect but heh...Best RegardsHerremann the Wise***Such a miracle has never yet happened in a game that I have personally played in. I read a thread over on Paizo where an abondoned -6hp character survived such an occurence (the rest of the party were killed). He came back into town several days later having somehow survived. The circumstance was such that a legend was born. Many whispered that the gods themselves must have got involved.</blockquote>
