DESCRIPTION

The affected creature can continue to act, move, cast spells, and fight without penalty at 0 or fewer hit points; i.e., the subject is not disabled at 0 hit points and is not unconscious and dying at negative hit points. A creature reduced to negative hit points equal to its Constitution still dies, however. This spell does not prevent a creature from dying due to death from massive damage or ability damage or drain.

If this spell’s duration expires while the subject is at 0 or fewer hit points, the creature is either disabled (if at 0 hit points) or is unconscious and dying (fewer than 0 hit points).

Note: The spell can be cast only on a subject with 1 or more hit points; it has no effect on a creature already at 0 or fewer hit points.
