[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 8144430, member: 6775031"] I wasn't talking about your example #1. That example [I]almost[/I] makes sense. Until he rolls a 20 on the death save, and then takes a nap after the fight, thus removing [I]all[/I] evidence that one hour ago he was twelve seconds away from bleeding to death (assuming a good roll on his Hit Die). So which is it? Was he beaten within twelve seconds of death? Or was he not substantially injured? Because the rules tell us that both are true, which is inconsistent. Now you're just making stuff up. There is no factor in the equation of Hit Points for plot armor, or divine favor. Plot armor isn't real, even by the standards of a world with magic and dragons. This isn't some cheesy pulp novel, where events unfold by the rule of drama. The gods aren't actively intervening in the affairs of mortals.
