Negative HP and creature types

[Ambrus]

Which creature types, if any, don't benefit from the death/dying rules? That is to say, which creatures are destroyed when they reach 0 hit points?

Although I don't know every monster ever published. The general rule is that all monsters die when they reach 0 hit points. Unless you are doing subdual damage or the monsters description says otherwise.

All monsters continue to use the death/dying rules unless stated otherwise except undead and constructs which are destroyed at 0 hp unless stated otherwise.

[Mauril]

Only constructs and undead explicitly are exceptions to the death/dying rules and are destroyed at 0 hp.

You can also just look for yourself in the Creature Types section.

Thanks Abraham spalding and Mauril; that's what I thought. My air elemental familiar had a close call last session and, after some frantic page flipping, I couldn't find anything that said that they didn't remain alive while at negative hit points so we assumed that it was kosher. =)

if it has a con score it can live at below 0 hp

if it doesnt have a con score (con-) its destroyed at 0 hp
