Sublethal Damage

Sublethal damage is a measurement of how much non-lethal damage a character has taken. Sublethal damage can be inflicted through combat attacks, special weapons, fatigue, and others.

Sublethal damage starts at zero and goes up. If at any time a character's sublethal damage becomes higher than his current HP, or it is so at the beginning of his turn, that character must make a Fortitude Save (DC: 20 + the difference between the sublethal and HP values) or fall Unconscious. All actions the player takes that turn take a penalty equal to the difference between the sublethal and HP values as well.

A character's Sublethal Damage total is reduced by the character's Constitution + Character Level at the end of a night of sleep.
