I'm fine with players suggesting houserules as long as I retain veto rights. I don't want to say 'incapable' as that's a bit too...

Indeed, but there's still the basic instinct to not lose. Loss conditions include character death, level drain, petrification, item or...

Your #1 is sound but the other 9 largely leave me somewhere between lukewarm and ice cold. Design for 10 levels but leave it...
