Penalties from accumulated hits count for this save.Failure = DeadSuccess by less than 5 = doesnt die but does not improve and must continue making the saves every roundSuccess by more than 5 but less than 10 = becomes stable but still unconsciousSuccess by more than 10 = becomes conscious and disabledWhen dying, any hit is killed.When dying, another PC can improve the dying PC's condition by making a DC 15 Heal check as a standard action (provokes AoO).Natural Healing: a full night heals 1 hit per 2 character levels (min 1 hit per night). Complete bed rest (24hr) heals 1 hit per level. Nonlethal is faster to heal at 1 hit per hour per 2 levels.Magic Healing: 1 hit (both lethal and non-lethal) per 5 points of healing (min 1).Fast Healing: 1 hit (both lethal and non-lethal) per 5 points of fast healing (min 1/round). May also add their fast healing value to Fortitude saves to become stable when dying.Regeneration: All damage is treated as non-lethal, except for the specific type of damage that effects them normally (ie trolls = fire).Bonus Hit Points: Anything that grants bonus HP (ie toughness feat) gives the bonus to Fortitude saves vs injury at +1 save per 5 HP (min +1). High CON does not stack as a bonus HP since the CON mod already gies bonus Fort save.DR/ER: Adds to Fort saves to resist injury at +1 per 5 DR or ER (min +1). The exception deals injury normally. ie DR 10/magic gives a +2 fort save vs injury against non-magic weapons, ER (fire) 15 grants a +3 fort save versus fire attacks.Coup de Grace: As normal but the result of the hit is made one worse (also note DC will be higher due to higher damage).Thats about it. Hope that helps.</blockquote>
