Since the system keeps track down to -10, though, a heavy hit against a hero that is barely positive will send that character down to -10; once a hero is at -10, they cannot trivially rise again, because restoring more than 10hp to a fallen character is not a trivial act. If the healer throws out a Healing Word at rank 1 or 2, then the character is likely to go from -10 up to -3 or -1, so they will remain unconscious and thus lose a turn. Actually getting the hero back into the fight would require a fairly high-level spell slot for Healing Word, or require the healer's action to cast a real Cure Wounds spell.</blockquote>
