I just want it to be a reaction spell instead of an action spell. That would push it off this list in a heartbeat. A lot of players would prep it.

It certainly would be more interesting.
My players do this anyway though: fake death when they get hit by certain monsters. It's just the Deception skill.
Sucks to be prone when your Deception skill fails or the monster is some savage beast or undead that rips you up and tries to eat you when you die.

Wanna know what sucks worse than being prone when they realize you're not dead? Being blinded, incapacitated, and having your speed reduced to 0 when they realize your not dead. The damage resistance and poison/disease stalling is pretty sweet though.

True dat. That incapacitated thing is really nasty, course if it were a reaction instead of an action, that condition might not be in the spell. And of course, the spell prevents them from realizing that you're not dead.
But if they are just hungry, that doesn't matter much.
I could so see a player say:
PC 1: "Hey Fred, we are going to dress you up like a Mummy, cast Feign Death on you, replace those bones on the table with you. Then we'll make noise, lure all of the monsters out the entrance and while they are busy, I'll drop Feign Death and you can sneak past them and go rescue the princess."
Fred: "Ok."
An hour later, the other PCs are far away and Fred is still in the room surrounded by monsters.
PC 1: "I always hated Fred."

Feign Death 13 I'd rather just pretend to be dead.
Find Traps 31

Weird 13 At least it does something.
