Unconscious

✦     The creature is helpless.
✦     The creature can't take actions.
✦     The creature takes a -5 penalty to all defenses.
✦     The creature is unaware of its surroundings.
✦     The creature falls prone, if possible.
✦     The creature can't flank.

This condition applies when a creature is knocked out, cast into a magical slumber, or otherwise incapacitated totally.
    A creature that has fallen asleep naturally—as opposed to being knocked unconscious by a power or other effect—is unconscious but not totally deprived of awareness; it can use its passive Perception to hear things, but with a -5 penalty.
