[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 6693606, member: 29398"] Another mechanic here is that if someone goes to or below 0 h.p. (and negative h.p. are essential) they need to roll under their Con. modified by their current h.p. on a d20 in order to remain conscious. We've been doing this for ages. Another variant to consider is that if someone goes to or below 0 h.p. they can only be cured to - let's say 10% of their usual total - before a long rest. If while still incurable this way they go to or below 0 h.p. again their "curable lid" is one (or two?) points lower; and if the curable lid ever gets to 0 the character dies on the spot due to accumulated wounds (if not dead already, of course). Yes this means a character can be down and back up a few times in a fight (or over the course of a day) but one hopes they'd be more cautious in order to avoid this death spiral. Another argument in favour of negative h.p. is knowing how mangled a corpse is plays into whether it can be Raised or whether something more powerful is required.
