Sleeping during Ambush

If a party member is sleeping during an Ambush, they should really only be surprised, not "magically asleep/unconscious".  Currently, they stay asleep during the battle until they take damage.

Pretty sure, from memory (which is not perfect), that there is a wake action.  I remember just needing to target your sleeping ally.

Yes, just click on a sleeping party member.


Typos happen. More so on the phone.

OK.  I could have sworn we tried that.  But if we ever get surprised while sleeping again, we will try that.  

I know this doesn't work following a battle where a party member went unconscious but stabilized.  But RAW is that they need time or healing to wake from an unconscious state.  Still annoying to burn a healing potion or spell to get them up.

If you have dying or stabilized allies after a fight just take a Short Rest and they will awaken with 1 hit point plus have the option to expend additional Hit Dice to heal further.
