So if they go to bed with a max 20 and fully healed with 20 hp but get drained by a Night Hag, their max goes down to 15. They don't get to keep the 20 hp, their current hp goes down to 15 also. Three more times and their max goes down to 0; they can have no more than 0 hit points. Therefore, they have been reduced to 0 hp without taking any damage. A character's current hp cannot exceed their maximum (or else that's not really a maximum). | |
