I'm working on creating a Half-Orc Oracle (she also has ranks in Barbarian because i'm going to make her a rage profit when I can. However, that's not relevant to my question and more to give you an idea of what i'm trying to do).
My Mystery is Battle and the first revelation I took was resiliency(APG):
*You are not disabled and you do not gain the staggered condition if you are reduced to exactly 0 hit points.*
I also took the half Orc feat Ferocious Resolve(ARG):
*You gain the ferocity universal monster ability, allowing you to continue fighting at negative hit points.*
The ferocity universal monster rule reads like this:
*A creature with ferocity remains conscious and can continue fighting even if its hit point total is below 0. The creature is still staggered and loses 1 hit point each round. The creature still dies when its hit point total reaches a negative amount equal to its Constitution score.*
My question is this: even though the wording for resiliency says you aren't staggered at exactly 0 HP, would the Ferocious resolve that allows me to attack past 0 HP (which you normally can't do) extend that protection from stagger past 0 HP as well?
This may seem like a silly question because the wording says "exactly 0 hit points" but without ferocity you wouldn't be staggered past 0 HP any way, you would be unconscious. So there would be no reason to add that to the rules. If I can't get an answer here I'll ask my GM but I was wondering what others thoughts were on this were.
