Hi...if a character has say 5 hit points and takes damage of 10 does he go to 0 or -5 ??
I think it's -5 but I am not sure ??
Thanks in advance for any replies !


-5 he is then dieing. He will take one more point of damage a round untill he stabalizes or dies, a character dies when there negative hp is equal to there con score. In the core rule book the full rules are under death and dieing in the combat chapter.


He's at -5. He also falls unconscious and assumes the condition "dying". You can go under 0 hp, when under 0 hp you are unconscious. You die when you reach your negativ CON (aka, if his CON is 10, he dies at -10).
The condition dying:

Dying wrote:
A dying creature is unconscious and near death. Creatures that have negative hit points and have not stabilized are dying. A dying creature can take no actions. On the character's next turn, after being reduced to negative hit points (but not dead), and on all subsequent turns, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check to become stable. The character takes a penalty on this roll equal to his negative hit point total. A character that is stable does not need to make this check. A natural 20 on this check is an automatic success. If the character fails this check, he loses 1 hit point. If a dying creature has an amount of negative hit points equal to its Constitution score, it dies.
