You take all the damage. If, after taking that damage, you are at 0 or fewer hps, you may use this power. Normally, you would fall immediately unconscious, but this interrupts that allowing the attack to resolve before unconsciousness sets in.If this attack grants you temp hps, great, but you still fall unconscious because you still are at 0 or fewer hps. You can't retroactively apply this to the damage you take because you already took it.If, however, this attack heals you, then you are at 0 but heal before falling unconscious (because that has been interrupted). After the attack resolves, you are no longer at 0 (you are at whatever the heal gave you) and you never fell prone.I'm not saying it's an especially clear or intuitive power interaction nor am I saying that other arguments are unreasonable, but I personally think this is the way the power is intended to work and that this interpretation makes its interactions with other powers fairly clean and simple.</blockquote>
