Blackout is great. I love the mechanic.

It adds tension and drama.

But... the fact you randomly drop the person you are carrying once in a while, and have to resubdue them is a pain.

Twice now I have dropped people and they were one shot by NPC mobs.  This breaks the flow of RP, and is wasting DM time (that could be better spent crafting me amazing loot).

If there are mechanical reasons why they cannot just stay blacked out perpetually until they are dropped, fine. But can the timer on the auto drop be doubled or tripled? I dont see a good in game reason for it to happen, so if it must happen, it would be best if it was less frequent.

I would second this. Given I was one of the folks dropped and had a misfortune event where I accidentally died to pve.  So in much support.
