Feats / Traits to prevent Non Lethal KO


Rules Questions


Hello All,
I have a build for a Barbarian that will convert lethal damage to non lethal damage if it would go below 1 hp (via Guarded Life Rage Power). Now my next step is to find out some feat or ability that would potentially keep me from being KO'd by the Non-Lethal damage (since Die Hard has no effect on Non-Lethal).

Any Ideas?

You have to worship Zon-Kuthon, but Flagellant will make you never fall unconscious from non-lethal damage.


And that's what you call a Home run ladies and gentlemen.

Now lets say for pain's sake that the GM wants nothing to do with gods/deities/magic blah blah blah... (AKA Non magical Campaign ) is there another feat or ability? or is this the literal only one way to achieve this goal?


if your going that route i would highly sugest invulnerable rager as an archetype as their dr gets doubled vs non lethal :)

if the dm wants nothing to do with magic and gods they can just re tailor the feats/abilities to not need them

That is awesome.

Are there any other feats out there that can convert Lethal damage into Non-lethal damage? Aside from Guarded Life rage powers.

The Flesh Wound rage power halves an attack and converts it to non-lethal.

Edit: and is awesome for Skalds to hand out to the party. :)

Scarab Sages

The ablative barrier spell converts the first 5 points of damage from any attack to nonlethal.

OMG.... now I have three final rage powers to choose from! This build is driving me nuts lol.

The cool thing is that aside from having to be a NE worshipper of a deity that might not exist in your specific campaign setting, there's nothing inherently magical about the Flagellant feat. ;)


Not really the answer but some type of healing.
I like fast healing as it heals 1 lethal and 1 non-lethal at the same time, helps.
Infernal Healing (or celestial) wand usually works wonders if heading into a combat situation.
