[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 5228258, member: 82504"] I calll it a finishing stroke free action. One way to look at it is there is a free action at the point of npc going under zero hit points... this free action is usually but not always an extension of the action which drives them unconcious. If the power was an ice attack the free action can freeze the enemy solid or just leave there blood very cold. If the power was a sword attack the free action might be a punch in the nose knocking them out or it might be a there can be only one - the ultimate finishing stroke free action. In the wheel of time novels the Aes Sedai would do something called tying off a spell. I have a druids sleep (called Sleeping beauty) that drains energy when it takes the target below zero I decide whether to tie it off or not before that point I cant even tie it off. Tied off its permanent coma (fix with a remove affliction ritual or similar by someone of noble birth - basically raise dead :devil:) ... untied off its a sleep very like traumatic unconciousness hard but not impossible to awaken from.
