[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 6289914, member: 6775031"] I'm actually really curious of how you'd deal with this situation, because it's not something for which I've ever found a satisfactory answer. If anyone else would like to chime in, I'd appreciate any insight. A rogue/assassin gets the drop on you. She doesn't want to just kill you outright, but wants to interrogate you, basically with a dagger to your throat (or a gun to your head, if you prefer). If you don't do what she says, you're dead. Well, she says that you'll die, but you have 100 hit points. What do you do? The way I see it, there are three ways to play it: 1) Laugh at the assassin, take the critical hit / sneak attack / assassination damage, and proceed to normal combat. 2) Pretend that the assassin is able to kill you, because the player knows for a fact that you can't die, but the character thinks she might die. 3) Trust the DM to patch this faulty rule, by ruling that it counts as a Coup De Grace (even though that maneuver is only supposed to work on characters who are unconcious/helpless).
