Below Zero HP Survival

I came up with this idea for damage results that took a character's HP's under zero (0). This will make it feasible for a character to go under 0 HP's and still live, though there may be some serious problems.

Some people game that when you hit 0 that you are dead, some unconscious. This works out pretty good because 0 means the character is knocked out (unless a class or race ability says otherwise) and they will remain that way for a random amount of time. However, if they slip to -1 or less, every turn they will slip further into death losing 1 point every round. Feel free to modify these as you see fit for your gaming session.

Minus Number HP's
HP Total Affect
0:  Unconscious  
-1 to -3 Normal bandaging will reverse the death.  
-4 to -5 Normal bandaging and a resurrection survival check for constitution
-6 to -7 Magical means of cure only.*  
-8 to -0 Magical means only and a resurrection survival check for constitution.*

* = If a magical potion is used, roll % dice; 01-40 = potion works. 41-00 = patient chokes on potion.
