Tricky!

I'd like to go with the former, where he gets a round to live, on the grounds that the dying rules are meant to produce that effect in general. But that would mean that any spell he had been Sustaining earlier, but hadn't Sustained on that turn, would fail to end until his initiative came around again, which is clearly bogus. So I'm afraid he does have to go through the end-of-turn steps, which kill him. I will be delighted if someone can show this is wrong!

this was my line of thinking as well. The way I see it, bleed damage occurs every six seconds, the passage of time does not stop because you went unconscious

How can a dying character get an AoO?

He had the wounded 1 condition, and provoked an AOO on his turn

Hey guys, hoping for some input here. We had a PC death tonight and I want to make sure it was by the book.

Player was wounded 1, with persistent bleed damage. It is his turn, takes an AOO and gets crit to below 0 HP, goes down to dying 3. Now this is where we had some confusion, does his turn now end and he takes the bleed damage, killing him? Or does he immediately move in initiative and the bleed damage does not take effect until his next turn?
