Unconsciousness and Powers

[Caliber]

So when a character falls unconscious, what happens to any powers they have running that last "until the end of the encounter"?

Does a Paladin's Mark go away? A Ranger's Quarry, or a Warlock's Curse? What about a Cleric's Guardian of Faith?

Are any of these affects different if the character dies vs simply falling unconscious?

I'd use common sense on these. A Paladin's Mark goes away if you don't engage a target every turn, so that would soon disappear. Ranger's Quarry and Warlock's Curse would remain in place but would mostly be useless until the character returned to consciousness. The Guardian of Faith would still around but would not move any longer.

For example, a Fey Pact warlock could not teleport with his "Misty Step" if his cursed opponent was killed while the warlock was unconscious. If he was healed by his group's cleric, though, the curse would still be in effect when he returned to consciousness.
