Under the skill heal it says ......
First Aid: Standard action.
✦ DC: Varies depending on the task you’re attempting.
✦ Use Second Wind: Make a DC 10 Heal check to
allow an adjacent character to use his or her second
wind (page 291) without the character having to
spend an action. The character doesn’t gain the
defense bonuses normally granted by second wind.
✦ Stabilize the Dying: Make a DC 15 Heal check to
stabilize an adjacent dying character. If you succeed,
the character can stop making death saving throws
until he or she takes damage. The character’s current
hit point total doesn’t change as a result of being
stabilized.
My question is more about the 'Use Second Wind' because if my beliefs are true then I don't understand, in the following situation, why anyone would ever go for the DC 15....
If someone were to go below 0 hit points before using his healing surge.
Can an unconscious person not use a healing surge or would you just go for the DC 10 and grant them the ability to use their second wind bringing back to consciousness?
