Does Life Link persist if you fall unconscious?


Rules Questions

The Exchange

The oracle's Life Link class feature specifies that the bond ends when you take an immediate action to end it or one of you dies. If the Oracle falls unconscious and doesn't take an immediate action to end it before they fall unconscious, they will keep taking damage each round, correct?
Is there any way to end it while you are unconscious?

As a standard action, you may create a bond between yourself and another creature. Each round at the start of your turn, if the bonded creature is wounded for 5 or more hit points below its maximum hit points, it heals 5 hit points and you take 5 hit points of damage. You may have one bond active per oracle level. This bond continues until the bonded creature dies, you die, the distance between you and the other creature exceeds medium range, or you end it as an immediate action (if you have multiple bonds active, you may end as many as you want as part of the same immediate action).

No


Sure, as an immediate action while going unconscious.

an immediate action can be performed at any time—even if it's not your turn.

No. Your best bet is to use an immediate action to end all bonds right before you go unconscious.

1) Yes, as far as I can tell.

2) No ways that I know of. I'm not super familiar with Oracles though, maybe getting the Diehard feat? You could always take the immediate action as you go below 0 (might be somewhat subject to GM discretion).

If you go with an Oradin build, you could use Hero's Defiance to help keep you standing.

Life Link is probably the #1 killer of Life Oracles =P

Oracle: "Oh, that Fireball wasn't so bad, I'm still at 24 HP."
