[QUOTE="gfunk, post: 369696, member: 1813"] I have a general question about these items. For example, a Cleric with the Magic Domain casts Contingency from a scroll and ties it to a Cure Serious Wounds to be triggered when his hp reach 0 or below. The same question is valid for a Ring of Nine Lives from MaoF which, apparently, casts Heal when you hit negative hit points. Here's my question. Do these come in to effect *after* the damage is dealt? For instance, let's say some poor slob has 50 hp, but takes 80 hp of damage from a single attack or spell. If he had the Contigency above, would: a) Trigger after the slob reached -30 hp, doing nothing *or* b) Trigger at the *exact* moment the slob hit 0 hit points, healing him instantaneously, then continuing to deal the rest of the damage? My guess is option a, especially since the Epic Spell Safetime does what option b says and more. [/QUOTE]
