Actually, could you clarify the above situation in terms of how you
might describe it to the players?
"You've successfully destroyed 19 of the 20 skeletons, there's only
one left and he looks in bad shape. You are unwounded, however, you
are now at exactly 0 AP..."
How do you finish the above sentence?
I'm curious, because I'm certain the situation will arise (hopefully
a less extreme example), and I'm not sure how to describe it. Since
a skeleton is a 'mindless killing machine', I assume he would
automatically do a coup de grace (or do you have to be below -10 for
that?).
