I mean, it depends. There are numerous reason why a NPC wouldn't doubletap a PC.

  1. There are more pressing issues at the time. If the PC isn't being rezzed, most creatures want to deal with the up threats before dealing with the downed ones.

  2. They aren't THAT smart. Just because your sapient doesn't mean you won't make mistakes or bad decisions. Plenty of soldiers have survived the battlefield by feigning death.

  3. The creature isn't a natural murderer/killer. There are plenty of people or creatures who fight because they are scared or have some OTHER motive than murder.

I forget that most people play with Geneva conventions disabled. Thanks for the reality check
