Two unrelated topics:

1) Can a PC use hit dice during a short rest at which they start at 0 hp?

 

2) Basic poison in phb states that it lasts for 1 minute before it dries.  Does that mean for the duration of which the poison is active that it does 1d4 (on a failed constitution save) poison damage with each successful hit or is damage only applied for 1 successful hit but you have 1 minute to accomplish a successful hit, at which point the poison is dissipated?  Is this duration the same for all other poisons, or just injury based poisons?

 

Citations appreciated (even JC tweets).  

 

Thanks!

Long rest section says:

a character must have at least 1 hit point at the start of the rest to gain its benefits.
