Since fatigue acts exactly like damage (except for the fact that you recover from it over time vs being heal) you can die to it all the same. If I were the GM I'd say if you have base ST 6 and are currently at -4 that you would die before you recovered from your fatigue. |

Though, to be sure, I'd warn the player before he removes that ring from his unconscious buddy. |

Or perhaps you should be a bit more cautious when using up all your ST casting spells. You leave yourself in a dangerous condition. To be fair, if Timmy wanted sole ownership of the ST ring, it's easy enough to acquire when Max has taken a little nap in any case. It's just that this way, Timmy might think the death is a mere side effect, not an act of blatant murder. Probably, this is the Cydri alternative to the trolley problem. |

Re: ST Items and Mana
You pick your friends, but not you family. What if Timmy is his brother? What if they are out boating on Timmy's birthday? And something glimmers on the riverbed? No telling what all that could lead to...

With that said even though I'd kill someone at -4 ST (assuming their base ST is 6) pretty quickly, if you are only at -1 ST I'd say you can like at least 15 minutes. Or you could RP it and let a physicker keep them stable (but not heal them) if they stay with them the whole time they are recovering. |

Re: ST Items and Mana
For that matter, I don't think I'd declare a character dead, just unconscious, if their ST wasn't negative due to actual wounds. Fatigue would wear off at the normal rate, and they'd regain consciousness when ST got back to 1. Otherwise we really don't have much of a mechanism in this game for representing unconsciousness short of death, except for the special case of being at exactly zero ST, with at least 1 of the outstanding hits being fatigue. As is, the margin between dead and unconscious is terribly narrow.
