Just wanted to suggest that enemies should go non-hostile to characters who are bleeding out. It makes chance to stabilize moot when they continue bashing you down past -10 hp.

normally i am all for these things but..... why would they stop before they actually killed you if that was there goal? the system seems valid as is IMHO.

Maybe they figure you're already dead or as good as dead. Maybe they go after your friend who's still plinking them with arrows, figuring you're no longer a threat. But sometimes realism just needs to give way to playability. If they're just going to kill you outright anyway, why have a bleedout with chance to stabilize anyway?

im all in favor of things that help characters and all, but bleeding out isnt always really the case in a violent death.

i suppose an easy way to put it would be this:

A wolf would not stop eating your guts, simply because you have fallen down "dead" and stopped struggleing. On the contrary, he would eat you alive.

*scratches head*

What about a random chance (maybe based on WIS) that they will mistake you for dead and just go non-hostile?

Yeah, but then you -could- get stuck in a cycle of Fall down dead, they stop attacking, stabilize, Get up- fall down dead. You get it right?.. Not that it's a bad idea....maybe Change it depending on the thing, I mean hobgoblins would loot a corpse right? Wolves would eat it. but if we go in that line of thinking, Each hostile thing would need a different reaction script..
