[QUOTE="med stud, post: 3869220, member: 1211"] Like I stated above, ten seconds without blood to the brain and you pass out. Cutting through human tissue is frightenly easy. The first time I participated in an autopsy I was surprised how easy it was to penetrate skin with a knife; not any razor sharp super scalpel either, it was a standard issue IKEA kitchen knife. Destruction of the brain is faster than 10 seconds of course. The problem with the cut throat or destroyed heart is that you have about 2-3 minutes to restore blood flow before permanent brain damage starts happening and that is a very, very short time to sew back the blood vessels and pharynx or to replace the heart. IRL I'd say that it is impossible or close to impossible but magical healing can turn that around. *EDIT* Answer to Li Shenron about drinking a potion of healing: If you are CdG:d you most probably is in a position where you can't drink the potion (paralyzed or being woke up by the CdG). I think that situation is more if you have the Die Hard feat and use your standard action to quaff the potion; the feat makes it possible for you to pull together during the immense stress put upon you by an injury that will kill you within a minute.
