Do spell trigger items work, even if you are pinned? I mean, if, for example, you have an enervation wand in your hand, you get grappled and pinned, you can still blast the grappler with no problem?

From the rules:

A character can go without food for 3 days, in growing discomfort. After this time, the character must make a Constitution check each day (DC 10, +1 for each previous check) or take 1d6 points of nonlethal damage. Characters that take an amount of nonlethal damage equal to their total hit points begin to take lethal damage instead.

Characters who have taken nonlethal damage from lack of food or water are fatigued. Nonlethal damage from thirst or starvation cannot be recovered until the character gets food or water, as needed—not even magic that restores hit points heals this damage.

What happens if you take enough non-lethal damage from starvation so that you become unconscious? Can anyone save you? RAW, healing spells don't work, and i don't think you can eat while sleeping, so after you become unconscious there is no way you can be rescued.

Also it would be interesting if someone dealt with a similar situation in real life or if medical training teaches you about this...

Thanks.
