Sustain a Spell and Dying?

[Fangtasmagoria]

Sorry of this has been asked but my Search Fu has failed me and I want to be sure I am reading all this right.

A character has a spell that is sustained up so it lasts until the end of their next turn and they are subsequently knocked down to dying but get healed back up before their next turn allowing them to act as normal. So is the sustained spell still be going for them to sustain it on thier turn as per the duration rules? Have I missed something, or is that right?

As far as I am aware that is correct.

You might need to keep track of the caster’s initiative after
they stopped being able to act to monitor spell durations.

Every time you sustain a spell you "reset" the duration of that spell to the end of your next turn. So long as the unconscious creatures turn in initiative order doesn't pass by, that character would be eligible to continue sustaining that spell.

Remember that when you are made unconscious you move your initiative to the spot directly after the effect that dropped you, so that could change the timing needed to keep the spell up.

To clarify, it's actually immediately before:

My bad. Bleary eyed after work posting does odd things to the words I type I guess.
