[QUOTE="jaults, post: 9943, member: 1116"] OK... I've read the rules in the PHB and the DMG and I am still confused. Let's say we are fighting a troll (63 HP, Regeneration(5)). We cause it 53 points of damage using fireballs, alchemist's fire and the like. It has 10 HP left. The fighter steps up, weathers the AoO and whacks the troll for 15 points of damage using his greatsword. The troll has 15 points of subdual damage and 10 HPs, so it falls to the ground unconscious. We leave, foolishly thinking the troll is dead. What happens now? Does the troll: a) stay unconscious for 1 round. At the beginning of the next round, the troll is staggered, because its regen has healed 5 points of subdual damage (so it now has 10 subdual). At the beginning of the 3rd round, it is fine, because its regeneration has knocked it down to 5 subdual... b) stay unconscious for an indeterminate time, until it makes the cumulative 10% "waking up" roll when unconscious. It will likely be fine when it wakes up, with 0 points of subdual damage. c) something else entirely... Thanks! Jason [/QUOTE]
