Game Mechanics: Knocked Unconcious Early

[Zeelot]

Often when PCs get hit for high amounts of damage, i.e double 1500 wurm in VP, Players will be knocked unconscious even though the player's actual hp is not even close (it's happened to me even when knocked to around 20% Hp).

The hp display bar goes to 0, then bounces back up.

This happens in many other cases, but is most extreme with hard hitting NPCs. The early unconsciousness can halt running, break feign death's, and interrupt spell casting, which usually gets players killed.
