To say that you are banged up and limping but otherwise ok means nothing unless there is some connection to your actual state of being. If you are limping with full HP is your move/ability to run reduced?  In an adventuring party without a paladin or cleric, does anyone who doesn't die get hit with a nasty wound ever, or does the lack of magical healing turn all hits into shots from nerf weapons. If real wounds do still occur in these situations then they are cured by the coach saying "walk it off son" or we have the PC's as trolls issue.If we describe the action as not resulting in actual serious wounds then no threat is that serious and everyone is just playfighting. Either way its less satisfying to logic and common sense. If fluff and narration carry so much weight then just keep fighting after reaching 0 HP. Sure mechanically you are down but thats no reason not to suck it up and keep going. That should be ok right?<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
