This was brought up on Reddit, but no one seems to know so I figured it'd be best to ask here.
The Gallows Rope wondrous item from Mythic Adventures says "...any time the wearer is reduced below 0 hit points he gains DR 10/— and fast healing 5 until he regains consciousness."
So, the question is, if you have Diehard, since you would still remain conscious, does this magic item simply not work for you? Or is there a loophole that you'd still gain the healing until you would normally gain consciousness?
Too vague, so up to GM interpretation. My expectation would either be "it doesn't work" or some form of house rule, like "it works for one round".
You can choose to not stay conscious with diehard (or even regular ferocity), so I would say that if and as long as you are choosing to stay conscious, you don't gain the fast healing and DR. But, as soon as you let your adrenaline wear off and fall unconscious, it should kick back in and top you back to 0-4 HP.
It's the best of both world, the ability to keep fighting as long as you're able or until the fight is fully over, and a little bit of extra healing plus Coup De Grace protection.
