Desperate Courage: A Proposed Rule for Halflings.

This rule can be used if falling to 0 Hit Points causes unconsciousness rather than death.

If a halfling loses enough Hit Points that they would fall unconscious but not die, they may make a Saving Throw. Success means that they stay conscious until the end of the combat, or out of combat for ten minutes. If they receive further non-fatal wounds within that period they do not need to make further saves.
