When a Gifted One's hit points go below 0, he may go unconscious.
This means he's an immobile, essentially paralyzed, target for
anyone and anything that comes along.  There is hope for someone
unconscious however, specifically, they can use the alert
channel (HELP ALERT) to cry for help, and the help that comes,
if it comes, can use first aid (HELP SKILL FIRST AID) or deaths
door (HELP SPELL DEATHS DOOR) or a multitude of other helpful
abilities.

Having the racial ability to not go unconscious is a double-edged
sword.  It means that the Gifted One can probably drag himself out
of danger by the skin of his teeth -- but it also means he is
still considered a threat by a monster who will continue to beat
on him.  SOME monsters may leave an unconscious Gifted One be,
showing uncharacteristic mercy.  Others won't.
