This would have to be announced after your roll, but  before knowing if you succeeded or failed.- automatically, shake off a status: dazed, fatigue, etc.- automatically, stabilize from dying- trigger a second wind which would be in addition to other functions (e.g., take an additional action)Finger of death, disintegration, word of death stuff, I have no problem with them doing hit point damage or having a two save process- an initial save to avoid and then go into death and dying save upon failure.  Poisons, I, definitely, have no problems doing hit points (as well as secondary effects). I would like to see them have an onset time and be continuous. I would, definitely, be looking at  Poisoncraft (Blue Devil Games) and Sean Reynolds <a href="http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/variantcontinuingpoison.html" target="_blank">variant rule: continuing damage for poison</a>).Then again, I would like to see hit points less abstract and something that does not scale or does so minimally. Though, I do like how characters start with more hit points in 4e.)</blockquote>
