Let me bring up one of my favorite video game series, the 'Mother' series called EarthBound here in the states. The second and third games featured a sort of scrolling HP meter, so that even when you were 'killed' in a single hit, you had until your HP scrolled down to 0 to react or kill your opponent first.What I am saying is that allowing the dying character a final turn to either heal or make one last fatal attempt to kill his opponent could be the answer to make a combat seem challenging but not have 1-hit kills which are the bane of swingy combats.</blockquote>
