Conditions Related to Dying

Waking an unconscious ally mid-fight comes down to healing, a shake, or a loud noise contested by a Perception check against its DC.

Parent page Dying

You take damage, provided the damage doesn't reduce you to 0 Hit Points. (If the damage reduces you to 0 Hit Points, you remain unconscious and gain the dying condition as normal.)
You receive healing other than the natural healing you get from resting.
Someone shakes you awake using an Interact action.
Loud noise is being made around you—though this isn't automatic. At the start of your turn, you automatically attempt a Perception check against the noise's DC (or the lowest DC if there's more than one noise), waking up if you succeed. This is often DC 5 for a battle, but if creatures are attempting to stay quiet around you, this Perception check uses their Stealth DC.
