I had a question come up in a PF 1 game recently that we couldn't agree on and I was hoping we could get some clarrification on it.
Does the Diehard Feat keep you from going unconcious from Nonlethal Damage?
NonLethal Damage:Benefit: When your hit point total is below 0, but you are not dead, you automatically stabilize. You do not need to make a Constitution check each round to avoid losing additional hit points. You may choose to act as if you were disabled, rather than dying. You must make this decision as soon as you are reduced to negative hit points (even if it isn’t your turn). If you do not choose to act as if you were disabled, you immediately fall unconscious.
When using this feat, you are staggered. You can take a move action without further injuring yourself, but if you perform any standard action (or any other action deemed as strenuous, including some swift actions, such as casting a quickened spell) you take 1 point of damage after completing the act. If your negative hit points are equal to or greater than your Constitution score, you immediately die.
Nonlethal damage represents harm to a character that is not life-threatening. Unlike normal damage, nonlethal damage is healed quickly with rest......When your nonlethal damage exceeds your current hit points, you fall unconscious. While unconscious, you are helpless.
As in, if I have 20hp total, have taken 16 hp damage and then get struck for 5 nonlethal; does the DieHard feat keep me up, or am I unconcious regardless?
