An addendum to my previous post: a 3e character who stabilises at minus x hp, on his own, by virtue of making the 10% stabilisation role but who has no one to care for him, still loses hp but at a lower rate. He has a 10% chance per hour of becoming conscious (and disabled) but loses 1hp if he does not make that roll. He also doesn't recover hp through natural healing. Even then, a conscious but disabled and unaided character only has a 10% chance per day to start recovering hp naturally; otherwise he loses 1hp. As I mentioned earlier, a DM I played under actually used these mechanics to great effect, constructing a good part of an evening's play out of them.
What would happen in 4e in these circumstances? I'm genuinely curious.
