[QUOTE="Gunpowder, post: 4211923, member: 57702"] Well usually yes, but three things. 1. the Death Strike ability is already an exception based ability allowing the orcs to make an attack after they are dead, so any other riders on a regular melee attack should be kosher. Since it is already breaking the general rule of no actions after dead. 2. Didn't the article talking about no negative hit points for monsters also say that the DM overrides that when he wants to? Personally, I find the mental image of an orc wading through a battle with spears, arrows and other what-not sticking out of him refusing to go down, entertaining enough to grant him negative hit points. 3. You could qualify the Death Strike ability as a immediate interrupt, so it would go off before the lethal blow is struck giving the Bloodrager a 10 HP booster, after which the blow could kill him if it deals enough damage. I guess it really comes down to how you want the Bloodrager to play out. [/QUOTE]
