Shield Other

When the caster goes unconscious due to wounds taken does the spell drop automatically? I tend to think it does not, but I don't know.

Shield Other
Abjuration
Level: Clr 2, Pal 2, Protection 2
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

This spell wards the subject and creates a mystic connection between you and the subject so that some of its wounds are transferred to you. The subject gains a +1 deflection bonus to AC and a +1 resistance bonus on saves. Additionally, the subject takes only half damage from all wounds and attacks (including that dealt by special abilities) that deal hit point damage. The amount of damage not taken by the warded creature is taken by you. Forms of harm that do not involve hit points, such as charm effects, temporary ability damage, level draining, and death effects, are not affected. If the subject suffers a reduction of hit points from a lowered Constitution score, the reduction is not split with you because it is not hit point damage. When the spell ends, subsequent damage is no longer divided between the subject and you, but damage already split is not reassigned to the subject.

If you and the subject of the spell move out of range of each other, the spell ends.

Focus: A pair of platinum rings (worth at least 50 gp each) worn by both you and the warded creature.

It does not. The spell only ends when the duration expires, when the caster dismisses it (standard action), or when the two people move out of range of each other.
 



I could be wrong but I would think that if the caster is unconscious then he would have no control and thus by default dismiss.

Dismissing a standard action. You must consciously will it to happen.

If you're unconscious, you can't do it.
 


Shield Other can be a very deadly spell if the cleric is not careful. The plan should pretty much be to ready curative magic whenever possible.
