Hi everyone!
Plz help me in one question, how does worked orc ferocity and Guarded Life rage power together?
I'm playing the barbarian half-orc (8lvl), and I'm little confused!
A) When half-orc with orc ferocity have 1 HP (for example), and take 10 damage - he:
1) take 1 lethal damage (from 1 to 0)
2) converted lethal damage to non-lethal (8HP)
3) take 1 lethal damage (from 0 to -1)
and he can fight on for 1 more round as if disabled? Yes?
What's happening in another round, if he takes 10 damage after his turn again?
Lets continue previous example:
4) he convert 8 damage to nonlethal again?
5) his HP drop to -3 (and 16 non-lethal)
6) on his turn he falling and unconscious but immediately stabilizes?
OR
4) he falling down immediately after his turn and than immediately stabilizes?
B)What's happening if this half-orc have Ferocious Resolve racial feat?
Continues previous example, he:
4) he convert 8 damage to nonlethal again?
5) his HP drop to -3 (and 16 non-lethal)
6) on his turn he....? He falling down, because his non-lethal dmg exceeds his current HP? Or he continues fighting?
Sorry for my English =)

A.
guarded life only actives when brought below 0. It changes lethal to non-lethal. So, technically, the half-orc falls unconscious due to non-lethal damage. Ferocity does nothing to negate getting knocked out from non-lethal. Which is why, non-lethal is actually a great way to fight orc barbarians. Unless they get invulnerable rager archetype haha.
short answer: I think, in scenario A, he goes unconscious despite his orc ferocity trait.
4-6. He would already be unconscious, but, assuming I am wrong, he would fall unconscious immediately at the start of his turn. (if not when he is hit again)
B. He is unconscious, due to non-lethal.
the way to get around this? Invulnerable rager archetype. The archetype gives DR/- equal to half your barb level. It also doubles this DR vs non-lethal damage. SO, you would be ignoring all non-lethal damage you take due to guarded life. (debatable, but I would allow it)

Yes! I have this archetype. But... Does the DR ability reduce damage twice? First - when barbarian take lethal damage, and second - when it take nonlethal from guarded life?
