If a character takes enough damage to go to 0 Body Points or is hit by a successful Waylay, that character is Unconscious. If undisturbed, they will revive in 5 minutes at 1 Body Point. In Playtest 3.2, a Waylay must exceed the remaining Armor Points in the target’s helmet to knock them unconscious.
