They still have 0 HP or less if they received THPs after going down (and if the THPs come before they drop, the THPs should go before the last HPs so it won't be an issue). This means that the problem only arises if THPs were added after the creature became unconscious and the creature takes further damage while they are down. The only time this will become relevant is if it stops the creature reaching minus bloodied HPs (and thus dying). If the creature is healed from dying, they gain the applicable healing starting from 0 HP anyway, so any difference in the number of negative HPs they had at that stage is not relevant (so, if 3 THPs meant they were at -12 instead of -15 HP, for example, they will still heal to the exact same amount either way, so the THPs had no effect unless -15 HP would have taken them to minus their bloodied value or lower).The only other instance where the THPs come in is if they are healed with the THPs still intact. This is the only circumstance where the creature with the THPs will actually be consciously aware of the THP effect at all.So - two cases: (i) avoided dying outright at minus bloodied due to THPs or (ii) healed with "mysterious" (to the character) THPs.The way I would personally deal with both of these is that the creature with THPs' subconscious is 'aware' of the bolstering they have received and either keeps the blood pumping just that little bit more determinedly (case i) or comes around feeling a little bit perked and inspired (for reasons that are not entirely clear to the newly aroused character - feeling a bit disorientated as you "snap back" is pretty understandable - case ii).Other than those cases (i.e. where the THPs are received and lost while unconscious) I think the THPs can just be viewed as having had no noticeable effect, although the character's subconscious was arguably bolstered up until it took the damage that removed the THPs.</blockquote>
