[QUOTE="Rafe, post: 4543507, member: 67395"] ?? That's what I wrote. Re-read that part of my message. No, better: It allows you to use a healing surge, unless you have none left. The second part of that section on p. 295 makes no sense to me; the part about "expressed as a negative number...". Yup, that's right. But you have to be conscious to spend healing surges, don't you? Otherwise, a person could heal up after a short rest and never mind an extended one, as per the rules. It says that if you're stabilized, your condition does not change. You no longer need to roll saves vs dying, but your condition does not improve until after healing or an extended rest. Now, if someone else in the group needs only a short rest to gain back full use of Healing Word or Inspiring Word, then it's game on. They use that, and no issues. As I said, the 1 hp thing is only for people who are specifically knocked unconscious instead of killed. That does not apply to characters reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by a monster. 0 and less is called "dying," not "unconscious," in terms of a condition. So they can't return to 1 hp after a short rest. [/QUOTE]
