When its the monsters vs the pcs, hey you roll the die and take your chances. When the dm attacks your unconscious character, he is telling the player point blank that he is trying to kill your character. Many players would take that very personally.However, there are a couple of things a dm has at his disposal to keep kicking a player while he's down without.....kicking a player while he's down.1) Ongoing damage. We've seen several monster examples with poison and fire that continuously do damage. An unconscious character could well die from those effects.2) Area effects. Several attacks have close bursts radius and the like, that can hit an active character and still kill the unconscious one. Some players would still be sore at this, but I think most would agree its reasonable. And this ignores the "monster doesn't have knowledge of pcs" scenario. Whether the monster thinks the unconscious character is dead or not is irrelevant, he just lets the blast fly.</blockquote>
