[QUOTE="Terath Ninir, post: 5596754, member: 47"] I've played Exalted for years now. Their solution is similar to this, but elegantly simple. You do nonlethal damage (they call it bludgeoning) until they're down to 0. Then it becomes lethal damage. It's quite simple and even passably realistic, if you care about such things. As for the original poster: bad guys and Jack Bauers are always reviving unconscious people in stories and then beating on them some more. Just come up with a heal DC you can live with and have the revived character be stunned and mostly unable to act. Added bonus advice: if you play a spellcaster in 3.0, take the Subdual Substitution feat. It doesn't increase the level of spells you cast and converts the damage from its original type to subdual damage. You can wipe the floor with Outsiders after that. Are demons immune to fire or just resistant? Who cares! My subdual fireball will knock it out and then we'll coup de grace it. Note that they figured this trick out later and Nonlethal Substitution is nowhere near as cool. [/QUOTE]
