All along, he'd be losing 1 hit point per turn, unless he stabilized.Of course, in D&D, there's always the chance of auto success or auto failure on those saving throws, if you happen to roll a natural 20 or a natural 1.Assuming he never managed to stabilize after a mortal wound, Gort, on average, would stay conscious for about a minute and a half, and die about a minute after that, if left alone.This whole scheme is actually based off the standard Iron Heroes (the game that I'm actually desgining this houe rule for, though there's no reason you couldn't use it with D&D) rule for falling below -10 hit points.That's not a bad idea.  I was thinking the same thing last night, but...Right...  And it also means that Gort has no chance of stabilizing once he gets past -15 hit points.  I'm not sure yet if that's a bad thing or not...  It trades a much better chance of stabilizing and simplifying the rule for a threshold past which stabilization is impossible.</blockquote>
